Attendance guides

Clear, worked explanations of the attendance math colleges use. Every example can be checked with the attendance calculator.

• How attendance percentage is calculated

  The attendance percentage formula, with worked examples: why per-subject attendance matters more than overall, how rounding works and what counts as a class.

• How many classes can I miss? 75%, 80% and 85%

  How many classes you can miss and still keep 75%, 80% or 85% attendance, with the formula, a full-semester table and a mid-semester example.

• 75% vs 80% attendance: what changes

  How a 75% attendance requirement compares with 80%: absences allowed, how fast you recover from a shortage, and how quickly attending earns room to miss.

• How to improve your college attendance

  Practical ways to improve and protect your college attendance: track it per subject, act early on short subjects, plan absences and talk to faculty in time.
