Attendance Policy
for F1 Visa Students

Consistent class attendance is required to maintain your F1 Visa status. 

The ACE curriculum is rigorous and fast-paced. Students are expected to be present, prepared and engaged in class on a daily basis.  Teachers are expected to provide efficient, productive, relevant and meaningful instruction built on research-supported and student-responsive teaching strategies.  

Students are required to attend EIGHTEEN HOURS OF CLASS EACH WEEK SCHOOL IS IN SESSION.  Classes begin promptly at the scheduled time.  If you are late to class, the teacher is not required to allow you to enter.  If the teacher allows you to enter, the time you missed will be added to your attendance record. If you leave early, the time missed will also be added to your attendance record.
