⑥ One day on the occasion of parent’s 60th birthday
⑦ When hospitalized or an emergency caused by diseases or accidents
3) Over 30 minute tardiness is counted as absence.
4) Three times of tardiness is counted as one absence.
5) Class absence over one-third of the course is graded as F.

Evaluation
1) Relative evaluation will be practiced along with the level different classes. The grade rate of HWC students will be noticed and observed following the school policy.
2) In case the professor found a quite different level gap of a student in the class, s/he should be moved to an upper level class. When the student stays in the lower level class than his or her original level, s/he cannot be given more than score B0.
3) Except for an inevitable situation, the student who is over 10 minutes late for testing will be given score 0.
5) The decision of holdover for low achievement students will be made in the meeting of English professors after the final term.
