[Oacrao-l] Absenteeism and grade correlation

[David Fulmer]

Hello, Kwanna! All of our syllabi indicated the attendance policy for that class and the grade reduction that would take place based on the number of absences. This is listed for our residential courses. I do not see having such a policy impacting FERPA at all.

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Absenteeism and grade correlation

Dear Peers,

Do your instructors list, in their syllabi, the attendance policy? More specifically, does the instructor consider attendance so important that the student's grade may be affected by absenteeism? Does this apply to traditional and distance learning course offerings? If so, does the absenteeism/grade correlation violate FERPA in any shape, fashion or form?

Thanks,
Kwanna
