At OCCC, we currently identify our students who never attend through our on-line system, and we then cancel them out of classes while reducing their charges to zero, but we do charge a $35.00 processing fee per class we cancel. I know this was a topic of conversation at our Fall Conference as we had a session which discussed this very thing. If you don’t mind, could you answer the three questions below with a simple yes or no and then I will put the information together for my meeting where we are currently reviewing our process. I am really hoping to modify our process, yet need to see if our policy is consistent, in any way, to what other institutions do within the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light";color:#1F4E79'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light";color:#1F4E79'>1.</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F4E79'> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light";color:#1F4E79'>Do you depend upon faculty to electronically respond with a list of students who never attend their class(es)?</span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light";color:red'>Sort of.
