General Regulation on Attendance

Students who do not attend 1/3 of the class or more in a single semester will not be able to receive the credit for the course (and will be automatically graded “F” for the course).

Excused Absence

Absence due to an illness or a death of an immediate or a close family member will be counted as an excused absence when a documentation evidence is submitted to the professor within 7 days of the incident (Attendance may be excused for 5 days in the case of parent’s death, 2 days for death of grandparents, and 1 day for the death of siblings).

Menstruation Absence for Female Students

Menstruation absences are permitted for a maximum of 5 days per semester, and a maximum of 2 days per request. Once the student uses their menstruation absence, they cannot apply for another menstruation absence before 3 weeks.

Students may print the absence request form at: portal.yonsei.ac.kr → Academic Management → [Curriculum/Course] → Attendance Requirement Waiver.

Approval or disapproval of the absence is under the discretion of the professor (Absence waivers are not accepted for Chapel, examinations, and evaluations).

Students must submit the absence request within 10 days of the absence date.

Electronic Attendance

For lectures with more than 120 students, attendance is taken electronically using the student ID card or the Y-Attend mobile application.
