General Attendance Requirements

Regular attendance shall be defined as attending school for the full day on each day, during which the college is in session. Everyday attendance contributes to a student's sense of responsibility, self-discipline and good work habits.

Regular attendance is essential, if students are to understand the continuity of the curriculum and derive the maximum benefit from education to reach their potential.

Excused Absence

1. Personal illness.

2. Family circumstances.

3. Quarantine.

Unexcused Absence

2. Illegal employment

3. Parental neglect (visiting, overslept, undone homework, missed bus, etc.) Upon your return to college after an absence a written excuse must be brought from home, explaining the reason for your absence. Excuses for absence should be taken to the Head Teacher or a person, responsible for attendance. Absences must be properly excused in the accordance with the college Attendance Rules. College policy may require a medical excuse for any questionable absence or for 3 or more consecutive days out of absence. The college will make a reasonable attempt to contact parents of the students absent from college.

16) Переведите следующий диалог:

John Priestly invited his friend Olaf, a Norwegian student, to Oxford for a week-end. He intended to take Olaf round Oxford. John is an undergraduate there. He loves Oxford and seems to know all about it.

While they were walking through one of the gardens, a scholarly-looking man in a cap and gown walked past and smiled at John. As he walked away Olaf said, “Surely he’s not an undergraduate?”

John: No, that’s my tutor.

Olaf: What is a tutor?

J: He, more or less, plans your work, suggests the books you should read and

sets work for you to do. Every student has a tutor and as soon as you come to Oxford one of the first things you do is to go and see your tutor.

O: Does the tutor also give lectures?

J: Yes, he may.

O: But aren’t lectures given by the professors?

J: Yes, though professors don’t give a great many lectures. They are often

appointed not so much to do teaching work as to carry on research in their particular subject.

O: Can you go to any lecture you like, no matter whether it is by a tutor or professor of your college or not?

J: Yes. Lectures are organized not by the college but by the university, for all

the students are members of a college and the university.

O: You said the lectures were “organized by the university”. Where is the

university?

J: It may seem rather strange to you but there isn’t really any university at

Oxford as there is, for example, at Manchester or Bristol or Edinburgh.

Oxford (like Cambridge) is a collection of colleges, each self-governing and independent. “The University” is merely an administrative body that

organizes lectures, arranges examinations, gives degrees, etc. Each college has its own character and individuality. But there are students of all kinds in each college; I mean you don’t get all science students at one college and law students at another. Every college hat its arts men and science men, its medical students and its engineers. Every student, of course, follows his own course of study, but he gains a lot from living among those who represent all other branches.

O: By the way, what are you studying? It’s medicine, isn’t it? You are going

to be a doctor?

J: As a matter of fact, I’m not. That was the idea when I came here, but my

interest has always been in language learning and language teaching so I

changed from medicine to modern languages. I’m in my last year now.

O: Well, I wish you luck.
