In a course where attendance is required, you may be absent three times (regardless of whether you have excused or unexcused). In addition, the lecturer can request compensation for a 4th or 5th absence. However, he also has the right to announce that there will be no 4th or 5th absence and that the student will leave the course after the 3rd absence. Students should not be allowed more than 5 missed appointments (including compensation).
