Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate class attendance percentage?
Divide the number of classes attended by the total number of classes held, then multiply by 100: Attendance (%) = (Classes Attended ÷ Total Classes Held) × 100. For example, 24 attended out of 30 held is (24 ÷ 30) × 100 = 80.0%.
How do you calculate how many classes you can miss?
If the minimum attendance required is M% over N total semester classes, the maximum classes you can miss is: Max Missed = Floor(N × (1 − M ÷ 100)). For a 40-class semester requiring 75%, Max Missed = Floor(40 × 0.25) = 10 classes.
What happens if a class is cancelled by the professor?
Cancelled classes are not counted toward the total classes held. Adjust the total classes held input downward by the number of cancelled sessions.
