NDMN Attendance Policy
NDMN students are expected to be present for every Corporate Partner Meeting as they are receiving a monthly stipend from the NSF to participate. Attendance is reported to the NSF to ensure students are meeting the requirements outlined in the program. Multiple abseneces (excused or unexcused) will be reported to and reviewed by The Data Mine team to determine if the student can remain in the program.
For the purposes of this course, being “present” means attending all online meetings with camera on and actively partcipating.
The following are types of absences that will be considered excused:
-
Grief/Bereavement
-
Jury Duty
-
Medical Excused Absence or Emergent Medical Care
-
Military Absence
-
Parenting Leave
| If you are feeling ill, please email/message your TA immediately. They do not need details about your symptoms; simply let them know you are feeling ill and cannot come to your meeting. |
Regardless if your absence is planned or unplanned, excused or unexcused, please notify your TA as soon as possible and work with them to catch up on missed information and work.
