Important Information about Student Attendance

Printed class rolls will no longer be sent to departments. It is still important, however, to notify this office of any student who has either never attended or stopped attending your class. You must also report a student who is attending your class, but is not enrolled. You can look at screen 107 on TTUMIS, or log into Web for Faculty to view a current list of students enrolled in a class. Please email cwilliams@tntech.edu with the name and section number of your class, and the name of the students who have a discrepancy.

If a student drops your class after the last day to drop without a grade, he will receive a grade of "W," and you will not need to report that student for nonattendance, or assign a grade.

In some cases, students may establish unavoidable circumstances, which would allow them to drop a course beyond the final deadline date. If that happens to a student in one of your classes, this office will make every effort to notify you. If there is not already a grade assigned in the “Grade on Record” column, you will need to assign a grade for that student of either a "W" if passing at the time of the drop, or "WF" if failing. There is no grade of "WP."

Reporting last day of attendance is mandated by the federal government. If a student stops attending your class, but remains on your roll, enter the date of last attendance in the column titled "The new LDA" via Web for Faculty as soon as you are aware that the student has stopped attending your class.
