Attendance Verification
UTRGV requires faculty to report students who did not attend any class meetings between the beginning of a semester and census day (official 12th class day). For online classes, attendance is defined as logging into the course website and participating in an academically related activity. Federal regulations state that a student must begin attendance in all classes for which he/she enrolls in order to establish Title IV program eligibility (i.e. loans & grants). A student who is reported as non-attending will have his/ her financial aid reduced and the cost of attendance budget adjusted.
