What the result means
The attendance rate shows how consistently the student has attended. The safe absence buffer indicates how many additional classes can be missed before falling below the requirement.
Attendance rate = attended classes ÷ total classes × 100. Safe absences = total classes × (1 - requirement %) - current absences.
Attendance policies vary. Use the requirement percentage from the school, program, or course policy.
Example calculation
If a student attended 72 of 80 classes, attendance is 90%. With an 85% requirement, the student still has a small safe absence buffer.
Tips for better results
- Keep a buffer above the required attendance percentage.
- Track planned absences before exam eligibility deadlines.
- Avoid using all allowed absences early in the term.
