POLICIES and RECOMMENDATIONS

• It is asked that students maintain good behavior at our work space
and places they live in.
• It is asked that students keep the teaching facility clean and use
the garbage disposals. Avoid eating in classrooms.
• Study Travel is allowed when included in the program, when it is absolutely obligatory and when it forms part of the student’s final grade.

POLICY ON ATTENDANCE
Students in the Barcelona Program are expected to attend and actively participate in all class meetings. Meeting times and dates are indicated on the semester “master calendar” and in the travel itineraries provided over the course of the term. Attendance will be taken (by signature) at the start of each class session. Lack of attendance will be construed as a lack of interest on the student’s part and will be reflected in the grading of the student’s performance.
Emergencies requiring an absence from class should be communicated to the Professor or Coordinator at the earliest possible date: these will be reasonably dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

REGARDING GUESTS
Outside of the period defined as “study travel”, students are discouraged from receiving guests in Barcelona during the term if this means distraction. Under no circumstances will students be excused from class to receive, to send off, or to entertain guests during class sessions.

REGARDING PERSONAL TRAVEL
Outside of the period defined as “study travel”, students are discouraged from taking trips requiring overnight stay during the term (Weekend day trips are meanwhile encouraged!) Under no circumstances will the students be excused from class to depart for or arrive from personal travels.
