10. Is there an attendance policy?

Yes, there is an attendance policy. You are allowed two absences, for both of your two classes each, without any consequences. There is no distinction between classes and other academic events, so as an example if you do not show up for our guided tour through the German Bundestag this will count towards the absences in your classes. For any additional absences you will need to bring doctors note. Please be aware that being late will count as an absence, as well. If you do not excuse a third absence, you are not allowed to write the final exam and will therefore be unable to receive academic credit.
