If the management allows you to participate in special events, then your absence is considered as an excuse. If missed the classes because of health issues, then you must bring the health certificate stamped in accordance with the procedure approved by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan and submit it to the Career and Student Affairs Department on the day you are back. In those cases, your absence from the classes will be considered excused.

According to paragraph 3.2.23 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Education", a student who does not participate in more than 25 percent of the classes without a valid reason is not allowed to take the exam for that specific subject and the student will have an academic debt. In accordance with paragraph 3.2.14 of the law, a student who has an academic debt because of exceeding absence limit must retake subject and fully comply with the requirements for its mastering by participating in classes.
