Attendance is obligatory in the College. Keeping with the Jesuit tradition in higher education, Loyola College emphasizes a minimum of 85% attendance from every student to become eligible to appear for University semester examinations. Students, if they are sick, should produce valid medical certificates immediately after their sick leave when they resume attending classes.

In the calculation of attendance, the following method is adopted for marking absence. The absence of a student from the the class in the college is marked thus:

• If a student is absent either in the first Session (before break) or in the second

Session (after break), he/she will he marked absent for a half day.

• If he/she is absent for two hours on the same day in two different session (before & after the break), he/she will be marked absent for the full day.

All public holidays are treated as holidays for the College, which are indicated in the

College calendar.
