Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about attendance calculation and our tools.

General Questions

What is the 75% attendance rule?

The 75% attendance rule is a common academic policy requiring students to attend at least 75% of their classes to be eligible for final examinations. This means out of 100 classes, you must attend at least 75 classes to meet the minimum requirement.

How do I calculate my attendance percentage?

To calculate attendance percentage, use this formula: (Classes Attended ÷ Total Classes) × 100. For example, if you attended 45 out of 60 classes, your attendance percentage would be (45 ÷ 60) × 100 = 75%.

While 75% is the most common requirement, different institutions may have varying policies. Some require 80% or 85% attendance. Always check your specific institution's attendance policy.

What happens if I don't meet the minimum attendance?

Consequences vary by institution but may include:

  • Ineligibility for final examinations
  • Automatic course failure
