Academic regulations are intended for the students of the Intensive Program. The regulations are adjusted accordingly for students in other programs.
Attendance
  • Attendance rate is calculated on monthly(8 weeks) basis. Students who miss more than 8 classes out of a total of 40 classes, in other words, whose attendance rate is below 80%, may not complete the level.
  • Students who have failed due to attendance for two terms in succession are expelled from the center.
  • One day of class in the Intensive Program consists of 5 hours of class, and each class runs for 50 minutes. Absences from classes and tardies are checked in every class.
    1. Absences: If students are more than 20 minutes late to a class, it is treated as an absence. Five hours of absences are counted as a day of absence.
    2. Tardies: If students are less than 20 minutes late to a class, it is treated as a tardy. Ten tardies are counted as a day of absence.
Grade
  • A test is administered on the last Friday of each month. The four subjects of attendance, assignment, performance assessment, and written test are assessed separately.
  • The perfect score in each subject is 100 points. Students whose average grade is below 70 points fail the level.
  • If students fail a level, they need to repeat the 2-month course they had taken. Students who fail the level in the reassessment are expelled from the center.
  • Cheating on a test results in 0 score of the subject.
Expulsion
  • Expulsion due to failure: Students who fail a level more than twice are expelled from the center.
  • Expulsion due to inappropriate attitudes: Students who act in the following ways are either warned or expelled from the center through teacher meetings. Tuition is non-refundable in these cases.
    1. Students who act in a way that disturbs the class
    (e.g., bad attitude, non-participation in class activities, cheating on a test, etc.)
    2. Students who act in a way that damages the reputation of the KCKLC
    (e.g., criminal act, complicity in a court case, etc.)
