About Absences

​

The absence policy at Nesbru IB follows the guidelines set by the Norwegian government. In each class, students will receive a warning if they miss more than 6% of their classes that half-year, and will not receive a grade for that year if they exceed 10%.

Each year the abscence is reset, and at the start of the second year, the percentages are halved as they then cover hours for the entire school year.

​

It is important to inform your contact and class teacher in advance when you know you will miss class.

​

NOTICE: In 2025, the Norwegian government has instituted a new policy regarding absences. As of the autumn term, and for the foreseeable future, all absences, outside of governmental absences, will count towards the 10% max absence, after which you can start submitting doctor's notes to have absences removed.

​

It is important to note that after you have reached the 10% limit, this does not mean that you can go back and remove prior absences with a doctor's note.

About Late Marks

​

When a student is aware they will be late to a lesson, it is important that they inform their relevant class teacher before the class starts. If a student is late to class, regardless of whether they have informed their teacher, they will receive a warning on their profile. After 10 warnings, the student's behaviour mark may be reduced, though this is at the discretion of the teacher and principal.

​

Each lesson block is 45 minutes. If a student is more than 15 minutes late, they receive an absence for the entire lesson. Students should inform teachers as soon as they know they will be delayed or absent.
