Attendance / Grade Policy

We expect participants in the John Muir Academy to have a fun and exciting learning experience, but we also expect them to put in a full week's work. It is our expectation that Academy participants will attend the entire week, including the industry tours and discussions that follow.

Exceptions will be made only in the case of illness or family emergency. Should an exception need to be made, the instructor should notify Academy staff immediately. If a participant misses class, the following steps will be taken:


  • If 1/2 is missed, the final grade will be lowered by one full grade.


  • If a full day is missed, the grade will be lowered by two full grades.


  • If more than a day is missed, the participant is welcome to complete the session, but no graduate credit will be granted.
