ATTENDANCE & CONDUCT POLICY

Professional Standards for All Kkala Learners

​​

1.1 ATTENDANCE POLICY (Minimum Requirements)

​

Applicable to:

• 1-Month Courses

• 12-Month Courses

 

Important:

• Missing more than 30% of sessions makes the student ineligible for certification.

This standard aligns with global studio-based learning practices and ensures fairness for both faculty and students.

​

1.2 RECORDING OF ATTENDANCE

Attendance is formally recorded:

• At the start of every session

• By the instructor or Kkala admin team

• Through the official Kkala Studio attendance system

 

Late Arrival Policy:

However, in genuine emergencies, students may request:

​

1.4 EXCUSED ABSENCE POLICY

An absence may be marked as Excused only in exceptional circumstances:

Required Documents:

​

1.5 PUNCTUALITY RULES

Maintaining time discipline is essential in professional studio environments.

 

Late Arrival Handling:

• 0–10 min: allowed quietly
