If one of the above grades is assigned and you do not take attendance, please provide the student’s last known student engagement in an academically-related activity. Examples include:
- examinations or quizzes
- tutorials
- computer-assisted instruction
- academic conferences
- completing an academic assignment, paper or project
- attending a study group required by the university where attendance is taken
If attendance cannot be documented through actual attendance records or through an academically-related event, you must report that student as never attended. Use the first date of the term as the student’s last date of attendance.
When ‘early-‘, ‘mid-‘, and ‘late-month’ are the most accurate remembered description of a student’s last dates of attendance, please use the 1st, 15th, and 28th for the posted last date of attendance.
