Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for planning your attendance.
Is the attendance rule the same for every course?
Not always. The official source may apply to a university-wide rule, a programme, a course type, visa monitoring, labs, or practical sessions. Check the scope before using a target.
Can medical leave affect attendance?
It can, but policies vary. Some institutions require approval or documentation, and some systems still show the raw recorded percentage.
Can I sit for exams if my attendance is below the minimum?
This page does not decide exam eligibility. Verify your official policy, department instructions, and student portal before making exam-related decisions.
Does this calculator replace the official student portal?
No. The calculator is a planning estimate. Your official student system and institution policy remain authoritative.
What if theory and practical attendance have different targets?
Calculate them separately. If the official source lists multiple targets, use the matching target for each scope instead of averaging them together.
