Technique Class Attendance
The dance program at Mather Dancer Center offers various technique classes for the undergraduate student. It is imperative that all policies with regard to attendance, attire, and other aspects be adhered to in order to maintain a proper learning environment, a clean studio and safe working conditions.
Each student is responsible for familiarizing themselves with these policies and adhering to them. Teachers are not required to remind students of these policies. Failure to adhere to any of these policies could result in a reduction of your final grade.
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory for all classes. Each student must be dressed and prepared to start participation in class at the designated start time of each class.
Absences
Each student is allowed only two (2) unexcused absences. Excused absences must be PREARRANGED with the teacher. Only two (2) excused absences are allowed. Additional absences beyond the number specified will result in a 5% reduction in final grade.
Tardiness
A student who is more than 10 minutes late to class will be marked with an unexcused absence and may be required to observe class. (See Unexcused Absence above)

You may leave your shoes in the downstairs hallway or in the lockers in the locker room.

ID Cards/Building Access
Due to security issues, access to Mather Dance Center is controlled by card access. You are responsible for ensuring that you ID card has sufficient rights assigned to it so as to have access to the building for your class. If you do not, consult your teacher immediately. The grace period in which someone will open the door for you is VERY short.
