trop d'absences
Explanation:
"When a student has exceeded the number of allowed absences (overcut), the student will be dropped from the course. A student who overcuts after the 10 percent point and by the 65 percent point of a semester (Last Date to Drop Without Academic Penalty) will receive a grade of "WD" (Official Withdrawal), which is non-punitive. A student who overcuts after the 65 percent point will receive the grade earned reduced by missed work for the remainder of the course, which in most cases will be an "F"."

dépassement du quota d’absence


Explanation:
ou, pour faire long et complet : dépassement du quota d'absences autorisées

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 15 hrs (2011-05-17 08:20:09 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Je propose aussi, pour faire court : absences excessives.

Example sentence(s):
  • Le quota d'absences autorisées est fixé à: 10 heures par année... En cas de dépassement du quota d’absence, un collège de juges et d’entraîneurs prendra la décision d’envoyer ou pas la gymnaste aux différents concours ou démonstrations.
  • When a student has exceeded the number of allowed absences (overcut), the student will be dropped from the course.
