Attendance and Participation are graded components of this course. Vocal development relies on regular practice, peer observation, and active engagement during group instruction.

Each subsequent unexcused absence results in a 3% deduction from the overall Attendance/Participation score.

Arriving more than 10 minutes late counts as half an absence. Absences due to documented university events or medical emergencies will be excused if prior notice or official documentation is provided.
