Changing Your Enrollment Verification (Attendance) Status

Your instructors report attendance after the first 14 days of a 16-week course or the first 7 days of a shorter course. If you have not been going to class, you will be marked not attending. This can affect your financial aid.

First Meet With Your Instructors

If you haven't been going to class but want to start attending, you'll need to talk to your instructors. They can help you figure out if you can catch up on the work you missed.

What To Do If You Missed Too Much Coursework

If you and your instructor decide that you can't catch up on missed work, you should talk to your academic advisor to figure out the best way to officially withdraw from the course.

Withdrawing from a course can affect your financial aid and may result in paying back funds you've already received.

What To Do If You Can Keep Taking the Class

If you and your instructor decide that you can keep taking the class you will need to provide a print out of your grades to the Financial Aid Office after midterm grades are posted. Visit Self-Service, Academics menu (graduation cap icon), Grades. Select the current term and print your grades to submit to the Financial Aid Office for review.

For classes that are shorter than eight weeks, ask your teacher to send an email to the Financial Aid Office with your grade and attendance information up to that point.

If your teacher thinks a different timing for this review is needed, they can contact the Financial Aid Office directly.
