Attendance Certificate

Students who positively participate in the workshops will receive a message containing instructions for the collection of their attendance certificate. The attendance certificate is issued upon attending 100% of each workshop.

Presence in class is registered through Attendance procedure.

The pin code to record your presence with the Attendance procedure must be entered in the classroom/virtual classroom in the presence of the faculty member who handles the recording. For "Attendance", presence for the entire duration of the activity is intended. In case of an improper use of the Attendance recording procedure by students - e.g. entering the pin to record attendance while outside the classroom, unexcused exit from the classroom before the end of activities - a disciplinary sanction equal to a six-month suspension from exams/graduation will be given to the student.
