Attendance/Participation Criteria

Criteria used to Identify Attendance/Participation

Attendance/Participation is defined in Kirtland Policy 4.035:

Attending class is essential for student success.

In-person courses: Students are expected to attend all in-person scheduled classes.

Online courses: Online attendance is defined as regular and substantive participation in class.

Note: Some courses and programs may have additional attendance requirements due to the nature of the program.

Students who fail to attend and participate will be reported as a “No Show” and may be administratively dropped from enrollment. Failure to attend and participate may affect financial aid eligibility.

Participation may include but is not limited to:

physically attending a class/lab where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor/parapro and students
participating in online requirements (including online discussion boards, blogs, etc.)
submitting an academic assignment in class or online
taking a quiz or exam in class or online, completing an interactive tutorial, or participating in computer-assisted instruction.
