5% of your grade comes from your attendance. If you miss five class sessions without document verification you will Fail.
Me: <i>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!</i>
Moral of the story. Hate profs that base my grade off attendance.
I miss about one day of school a week.
Man, what's wrong with you? Uni? Profs?Originally Posted by Yamaneko

Remember College in the UK is highschool. Where they run your lives like hawks no matter where you live!What? Colleges don't check attendence.
I had a history class at 8am once. I went a total of six times, four of which were test days. I got an A in the class. She was nice enough not to take attendance. There were like 150 people in the class so I don't see taking attendance as being efficient.
But I'm usually good at going to class, I'll just never take an 8am class again.
I cut class way more than was normal last quarter at the American (i.e., right) version of college (uni to everyone else)...didn't seem to hurt my grades too much.
Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!
I haven't missed a day for being sick since ninth grade that I can remember.
Always 15 mins early. I do skip classes, should I get angry enough to.
I didn't go to a few tutorials at university so they sent me an email.
I was terrified at this development and vowed never to do any wrong again.
I only skip frequently when I'm on the verge of failing a class, simply because I lose hope. Incidentally, I don't have anything below a C on my transcripts.
Other than that, I only miss class when I feel like [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], aka, too damn tired to care about going to class. Maybe if I didn't have to commute it would be a different story.
I have teachers who will give you like 5 free absences and then they fail you. Those don't have any bearing on your grade, until you miss THAT MUCH.
Not really. I was usually in for most days unforunatly. I wasn't allowed many days off, only for sickness and such. Oh and whenever I was going to watch a game of cricket. I didn't see any point to wagging school either. Near the end of my schooling days I ended up taking heaps of days off, but there were excuses for them.
As for the last 3 years in my Art course, why would I want to take any days off that? It is the greatest place ever and I enjoy being there more than being at home
i never had an attendance problem, but if something happens at school, that is because i made it go that way.
Ok great well the meeting didnt go too well because the college didnt accept my evidence of authorised absence. im on an attendance contract now, which means that i have to attend all lessons for the next 4 college weeks, and if i dont give a good reason for an absence, im out. I couldnt prove (according to them) most of my absences to be authorised, but I should have like 90% now instead of 80%, and 90% is fine. Your supposed to get a contract when your college attendance gets to 75%, thats exactly what it says in the college guide.
How I love college!
