When issuing a student a non-passing grade, i.e., an E, F, U, I, or N, you must also report the student's last date of attendance when entering the grade online. This helps the Financial Aid Office determine whether a student unofficially withdrew and whether the student is able to retain the aid he or she received.
The last date of attendance is the last date the student sat in class, took an exam, handed in homework, or actively participated in an online course. If you are assigning an I or N grade, the last date of attendance is the last date you met with the student to discuss progress in the course. If you have no record of the student attending, do not enter a date. Instead use the grade EV, which indicates that the student never attended the course.
Questions regarding this policy or procedure should be referred to the Financial Aid Office, ext. 4902.
