Subject: [Oacrao-l] Student Never Attendance

 

Good Morning!

 

I would like to put some data together showing the actions of our state
institutions in terms of what we do with never attendance.  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.

 

1.     Do you depend upon faculty to electronically respond with a list
of students who never attend their class(es)? Sort of.  We use our
online grading module and the faculty member has to report either Yes
(has attended) or NVR (never attended).  We require a "grade"just like
we do on midterms and finals.

 

2.     Upon receiving this data, do you cancel students for never
attendance (where it is not transcripted)? Yes, if the student is
reported a having never attended any classes then we do cancel for
non-attendance.

 

3.     Upon receiving  this data, do you reduce charges to zero for
students who never attend? Yes, if they are "cancelled" then all charges
are zero.

 

Thanks in advance for your input...this will really provide some
perspective in terms of where we, at OCCC, are at with this policy, in
contrast with everyone else within the state.

 

Thanks,

Alan
