Notification for reduction in leaves of absence allowed to students

(The number of leaves of absence allowed to students have been reduced from 7 to 5 according to a new notification)

This is to inform you that in accordance with the decisions of the IBA Academic Board (December 11, 2019) and IBA Board of Governors (December 21, 2019), every full-time student is required to attend at least 83% sessions of each course in which he/she is enrolled. This policy will be effective from January 15, 2020.

Approved absences for full-time students from Spring 2020:

Semester Type	Duration of Session	Total Sessions	Allowed Absences
Spring or Fall	75 or 90 minutes	28	5
Spring or Fall	150 or 180 minutes	14	2
Spring, Fall	180 minutes	12 (MBA Executive only)	3
Summer	120 minutes	18	3
Winter	180 minutes	12	2

Failure to maintain the attendance up to the mandatory 83% will result in the student being awarded an "F" grade in the attendance deficient course.

No additional absences will be provided for participation in conferences, seminars, events, representation of IBA at national or international level, religious activities (proceedings and pilgrimage etc.) and this absence limit is inclusive of all, including facilitation week.
