Understanding Attendance Policies
Most colleges and universities have mandatory attendance policies, especially for courses that meet less than 3 times per week. Excessive absences can result in grade penalties or automatic course failure.
Common Attendance Requirements
- 75-80%: Standard minimum attendance (most common)
- 85-90%: Stricter courses (labs, seminars, performance classes)
- 100%: Clinical rotations, practicums, field work
What Counts as an Absence?
- • Full absence: Missing the entire class session
- • Tardy: Some professors count 3 tardies = 1 absence
- • Early departure: May count as partial or full absence
- • Excused vs. unexcused: Policies vary — excused absences may still count toward your total
Consequences of Poor Attendance
- • Grade reduction (e.g., one letter grade per absence over the limit)
- • Automatic course failure (some strict policies)
- • Loss of participation points (10-20% of final grade)
- • Ineligibility for make-up exams or extensions
- • Academic probation if multiple courses affected
