Completing Online Attendance or
Record of Class (10%) Form
The College is funded by the number of full-time equivalent
students it has. This number is calculated when a class has
met 10% of the total hours scheduled. These values are
obtained directly from the course attendance sheets.
Consequently the state mandates that all faculty take accurate
daily attendance.
CPCC offers two distinct attendance procedures.
1. Web Advisor Online attendance - if your class meets 51%
or more in a classroom.
2. Paper attendance using The Record of Class (10%) Form if your class is strictly online or meets more than 51% online.
