Teaching Assistants take attendance at the start of each class and report to staff. When a student is absent, the caregiver will receive a call or email. We will leave a message if someone is unable to pick up.
The Emergency number when weekend classes are in session is 312-899-8526. Please note that when ECP classes are not in session, emailing us is the best way to receive a quick response.
For planned absences, please notify us ahead of time via email at saic-youth@saic.edu.
Students are expected to attend all classes regularly and arrive on time. Full participation is required in all aspects of a course. Students who register late are responsible for catching up on all missed content and assignments.
If a student needs to miss class, it is their responsibility to contact the instructor—preferably in advance—to discuss how to stay updated on missed content and assignments.
Students who withdraw from a course must do so in writing. Nonattendance does not constitute an official withdrawal.
Religious Holiday Observance: SAIC recognizes our community's diverse religious and cultural practices. Students are expected to notify their instructors early in the semester to discuss reasonable accommodations for holidays they observe.
