Class Schedule, and Attendance

How many days a week will I have classes?
 The English Preparatory Program is planned for five days a week and delivered face-to-face at the NeoTech Campus. The weekly class load is 25 hours.

What are the teachers’ office hours and how can I meet them?
 Office hours are announced at the beginning of each module. You may visit during those hours without an appointment, or you can request a meeting by email.

Is attendance mandatory?
 Yes. Students must attend at least 80% of their classes. Those who fail to meet this requirement are considered unsuccessful at their current level, even if they perform well academicaly.

How can I check my absences?
 You can track your attendance records through the digital attendance system and OBIS.

How is my class schedule determined?
Classes are scheduled in morning or afternoon shifts, and students are placed into a shift according to logistical planning and class balance.

Can I choose my own class time?
 Changes to class schedules are only possible with a valid reason. You must submit a petition with official documents (such as an SGK report or a medical certificate) to the Foreign Languages Department during the first week of the module.

Can I choose my own classroom within the same time slot?
 No. Class placements are made based on academic and administrative balance. Personal preferences are not considered. However, if you have a valid, documented reason, you may apply for a change during the first week.

Can I use medical reports to excuse absences?
 Medical reports do not automaticaly reduce absences. However, the following may be considered if submitted with a petition:

-Reports covering at least 5 days

-Reports related to serious or chronic health conditions

-Documentation of the death of a first-degree relative

Applications must be submitted to the Foreign Languages Department and will be reviewed within 10 days.
