Last Date of Attendance

In determining a last date of attendance for students, Presentation College utilizes the definition of academic attendance found in 34 CFR 668.22(l)(7)(i)

"Academic attendance" and "attendance at an academically-related activity"—

1. Include, but are not limited to—
   1. Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students;
   2. Submitting an academic assignment;
   3. Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction;
   4. Attending a study group that is assigned by the institution;
   5. Participating in an online discussion about academic matters; and
   6. Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course; and
2. Do not include activities where a student may be present, but not academically engaged, such as—
   1. Living in institutional housing;
   2. Participating in the institution's meal plan;
   3. Logging into an online class without active participation; or
   4. Participating in academic counseling or advisement.

Faculty are to report a last date of attendance for students who have not met any of the functions listed in (A)(1) through (A)(6) above within twelve calendar days of last attendance, or less if specified in the course syllabus. After receipt of a last date of attendance, the advisor will be notified of attendance issues and will make contact with the student. If the student does not respond, a formal letter will be sent by the Registrar's Office indicating a possible administrative withdrawal.
