A A - B + B B - C + C C - D + D F
= 94 – 100 %
Excellent = 90 – 93 % = 87 – 89 %
Above Average = 84 – 86 % = 80 – 83 % = 77 – 79 %
Average = 74 – 76 % = 70 – 73 % = 67 – 69 %
Below Average = 60 – 66 % = 59 % & Below
Poor

ATTENDANCE:
Due to the intensive nature of the 11 week quarter system at The Art Institute of New York City, absences jeopardize participation and a student’s ability to successfully complete his or her studies. A student’s academic performance is in pursuit of preparation for a professional environment in which there is typically zero or little tolerance for absenteeism. If, for some critical reason, a student finds it necessary to be absent, late, or leave early it is the student’s responsibility to: *Notify the instructor, and make up all missed work. *Note that accumulated tardiness, leaving class before it is dismissed, or absenteeism will affect performance and the participation grade. *Understand that excessive absenteeism may result in failure of the class. *Look for the specific participation requirements for individual courses, by referring to the course grading rubric within the syllabus provided by the instructor. Attendance is taken every class meeting. There are no excused absences. The only consideration to be granted regarding absences must be presented by the Faculty Member to the Department Chair and dean of Academic Affairs.
A student who misses twelve (12) hours from weeks 1 through 9 in an individual course will receive a Withdrawal grade (W). A student who misses 12 hours in a course in weeks 1 through 11 will receive a W/F. Tardiness and absenteeism will be recorded in 15 minute increments.
A student who knows that she/he will be late/absent must contact the instructor via voicemail, e-mail, or administrative note. Students arriving late to class have the responsibility of notifying their instructor at a break that they are present. When absent, a student is responsible for obtaining the lecture notes and homework assignments from other members of the class or the syllabus.
Students will be asked to leave class if they are unprepared, disengaged, sleeping, disruptive, or otherwise compromising the educational experience of students who are motivated and trying to work.
Students who do not attend classes for 14 consecutive days will be dropped from school from the last date they attended school; exceptions will be made only on the basis of appropriate documentation presented to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students taking a minimum of twelve credits, who have perfect attendance for all courses registered, in a particular quarter will receive a $100 tuition scholarship for the subsequent quarter of enrollment in the school. Details regarding this scholarship may be found inThe Art Institute of New York City catalog
