Attendance Policy

Attendance is taken shortly after each class session begins (8:30 am or 1:00 pm), so it is important to be on time for class. The ATDP office staff immediately calls the parents of absent students to ascertain the reason for the absence. If you know that you will miss all or part of a class meeting, please inform your instructor and the ATDP office right away and in writing. Students who incur more than two absences for any reason may not be eligible for course credit.

Campus Courtesy

Because we share our working and recreational space with many others who are employed in a variety of academic pursuits all over the Berkeley campus, courteous, appropriate behavior is required of all participants in ATDP. Most campus classrooms and offices share a limited amount of space. Activities in these rooms range from lectures and discussions to research and quiet contemplation. Custodial services are limited. Therefore, students should:

• take breaks outside
• walk and talk quietly in the corridors
• in Tolman Hall, use the stairs when possible
• pick up after themselves, leaving facilities orderly and clean
• always remember that we are guests in the building

The success of ATDP’s relationship with the University and its personnel depends on our students’ attention to courteous behavior.
