IEC Student Handbook Academic Expectations
IEC students have an official colorado.edu Outlook account and can log in with their Identikey and password. More detailed information about logging into your 欧美口爆视频 email and MS Suite account can be found on the OIT鈥檚 website. Students are expected to check their 欧美口爆视频 email daily. There are often important messages from instructors, the IEC, and 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. For example, every Monday IEC students receive an email detailing important dates and events at the IEC for that week. It is expected that all students read this important email.
鈥 It is important to be in class every day.
鈥 Students may need to miss a class or two, due to illness or personal business, but they should not make it a habit (see the 85% Attendance Policy). Please note that medical excuse notes are not accepted.
鈥 If a student needs to leave Boulder or withdraw from the program, they should notify their instructors, their IEC Academic Advisor, and the IEC front office.
鈥 Students must arrive to class on time. If class starts at 8:30 am, instructors expect students in class at 8:30 am. It is inconsiderate to the instructor and the other members of the class to interrupt the class by being late.
鈥 Students more than 30 minutes late to class are counted absent for that class.
鈥 Students who are 1-30 minutes late for the same class three times will be recorded as absent for one instance of that class.
Many classes are in a discussion format. Though it is normal for students to feel nervous about speaking in class, students are expected to be a part of these discussions. Successful participation requires good listening skills, a willingness to try, and completion of homework.
Homework is an important part of student learning. Students should plan for 3 to 4 hours of study time every day.

Moreover, all IEC students are required to attend this presentation when they are at Level 5.
