Attendance General Guidelines Article 26: Attendance is mandatory for theory, practical and laboratory classes, as well as workshops, which are part of the regular schedule. Attendance is taken for each hour of class. In virtual courses, students attendance is supported by completion of the learning activities assigned. Scheduled classes are taught on the dates and at the times established on the regular schedule. If due to circumstances, a scheduled class cannot be held at the established time, the instructor is responsible for rescheduling the class or replacing it with virtual study activities, after reaching an agreement with the students and obtaining approval from the academic coordinator for the course. Attendance should not be taken and no evaluations may take place during rescheduled classes.
