Participation Confirmation
United States Department of Education regulations require that students receiving federal student aid (i.e.: Pell Grant, direct loans and work study) are attending the classes for which they have registered. For a student to retain their financial aid, each of the student’s instructors must verify that the student has attended class at least once before the last day to withdraw without a W. Instructors are not required to take daily attendance.
