They havent given us the amount of allowed absence for the filmaking.( For the acting it is 9 classes until you are requested to leave. There are average of 3 classes a day, occasionally 2. Which gives you about 3/4 days allowed to miss in 8 weeks. Craazyrill! Don't Exceed the Allowed Number of Absences NYFA has a strict attendance policy. If you exceed the number of allowed absences, you will be asked to leave the program and you'll lose your F-1 visa status and have to depart the US.
