Asistencia a clases

Attendance to classes is compulsory. The Faculty have the obligation to note student absences and report such to the Registrar. Frequent absences will affect the final grade. The Term for a three credit workshop course consists of 90 hours of work, while General Studies courses include 45 class hours. Students with 5 unjustified absences, in courses that meet once a week, or the equivalent in classroom hours will be given an “F” grade.

Study Modalities

Enrollment under Agreement
This is an option offered to day students and SuperArte students to take courses under written agreement with the faculty member as to the terms for fulfilling the objectives and the content of the course. The two parties enter a written agreement stipulating the learning activities that the student agrees to carry out individually. The function of the faculty member shall be that of a facilitator in the educational process. The faculty member shall evaluate the activities engaged in and provide certification when the student has fulfilled all of the course requirements.

Only candidates for graduation may choose enrollment under agreement if they need the course. The option shall be available when the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico cannot provide the offering due to a lack of sufficient enrollment.

The Department head and the Dean of Academic and Student Affairs shall approve the student's request and ratify the agreement between the parties.

Challenging Courses
Students may prepare a portfolio or an examination that will demonstrate their knowledge of the course material, without taking the class.  In the case of workshop courses, students will be examined through exercises that show their mastery of skills or techniques. This may include a demonstration in the classroom and a presentation of a portfolio.

All students who wish to challenge courses by means of a portfolio and/or by an equivalency examination must fulfill the requirements established by the Institution in its Policy on Challenging Courses by Examination or Portfolio.  Students must ask to challenge a course not later than the second week of the term.  Once requested, the student has two weeks to withdraw the challenge; if not, there will be no reimbursement.
