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.

Participation confirmation is the process by which Clemson University documents that a student has participated in each class in which they are enrolled within the designated period.
Why are we implementing participation confirmation?
The U.S. Department of Education has required that institutions confirm that a student is eligible for the type and amount of federal aid disbursed for each term. The confirmation includes the student’s participation in the classes on which their aid is based.
