After receiving calls from faculty asking when they can start inputting attendance information I decided to send a general note. I plan to send out the memos to your departments on Feb, 8th or 9th for FULL semester courses only because their census date is February 12th. I try not to send out the attendance requests too far ahead of the census date for a reason. It is a no brainer who the students are who never attended ( code them with a 0 in the attend hours column) but determining who the students are who stopped coming before the census date (coded with a last date of attendance BEFORE the census date)listed on your course sheets requires the usage of more grey matter. Wlll they show up again? Are they gone forever? It is a hard call and should not be decided until the census date. That is why I send them out as close to the census date as possible. If you have any questions call me at ext, 2291 or my assistant , Lori DeWaters at ext 2247. Thanks. Ginger
