Attendance

In order to be eligible for financial aid funds, you must begin attendance in all of your classes.

Our institution defines academic attendance and attendance as the following:

• Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students;
• Submitting an academic assignment;
• Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction;
• Attending a study group assigned by the school;
• Participating in an online discussion about academic matters; and
• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.

Items that do not count toward academic attendance include activities where a student may be present, but not academically engaged, such as:

• Participating in a student-organized study group;
• Logging into an online class without active participation; or
• Participating in academic counseling or advising.

After the first two weeks of the semester, if you have not actively engaged in or attended class, your professors will report you as a "No Show," and you will be notified by email. Being reported as a “No Show” will cause a change in enrollment level used to determine your eligibility for financial aid, which may result in a reduction or loss of financial aid funding unless you can provide attendance confirmation from the professors teaching the courses for which you are reported as a “No Show”.  It is your responsibility to request attendance confirmation from all of your professors and email it to the Office of Financial Aid at enrollmentservices@mc3.edu.
