DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

Faculty at UT Arlington are not required to take attendance in their courses. However, the U.S. Department of Education does require that the University have a mechanism in place to mark when Federal Student Aid recipients "begin attendance in a course."

UT ARLINGTON REQUIREMENTS

UT Arlington uses final grade rosters to collect information identifying when Federal Student Aid recipients "begin attendance in a course." Specifically, when assigning a student a grade of F, faculty must report the last date a student attended their class based on evidence such as a test, participation in a class project or presentation, or an engagement online via Blackboard. The Institution's procedure requirement when an "F" is recorded is available here.
