WHO MUST VERIFY ATTENDANCE?
The instructor of record must verify attendance for each course in which he/she is assigned.

WHEN MUST ATTENDANCE BE VERIFIED?
Each semester a memo is sent to all faculty outlining the earliest date to submit attendance, as well as the deadline to submit attendance.

WHY MUST ATTENDANCE BE VERIFIED?

 * Federal and State guidelines require the college to verify enrollment.
 * An accurate class roll ensures that financial aid recipients are awarded based on an accurate enrollment.
 * Veterans benefits are paid to students based on enrollment.
 * Student insurance eligibility is based on full time enrollment.
 * Student loan deferments require enrollment verification.
 * Scholarships are awarded based on verified enrollment.
 * Any inaccuracies after the verification deadline can be detrimental, resulting in financial penalties to the student, as well as the college.

HOW DO I VERIFY ATTENDANCE?
Please use the faculty online service to indicate the attendance or non-attendance of your students:

If you have questions, please contact the Registration Office at 506-3646.Thank you for your support.

DO ONLINE CLASSES NEED TO BE VERIFIED?
Yes, ALL classes must be verified for attendance. If a student has participated in the course “icebreaker” or has finished the first assignment he/she should be indicated with a “Y” as attending.

DO I NEED TO VERIFY THE LAB ASSOCIATED WITH MY CLASS?
If a course and its lab are indicated on the course master as “shared," the lab does not need a separate verification. If it is not a “shared” course then it will need a separate verification. Simply speaking, when you go to faculty online services and pull up your classes to be verified, if the lab appears then you need to verify the attendance of those students.

WHAT ABOUT A MONDAY CLASS WHEN THE SECOND CLASS MEETING IS A HOLIDAY?
Please submit your class roll verification immediately following the second meeting with your class.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I MAKE AN ERROR WHEN VERIFYING MY ATTENDANCE?
Did you mark the student as “Y” when it should have been “N”? If so, please send an email to walterj@dbcc.edu. The email should include the following information:
 * 1) Student’s full name
 * 2) Student’s ID#
 * 3) Faculty name
 * 4) Course # and Section
 * 5) A brief note indicating the attendance should be “N”.

Did you mark the student as “N” when it should have been a “Y”?

This becomes a little more involved. Students who meet the criteria and are marked as “N” will be dropped from your roll. First you will need to check your class roll the day after you mark the student as non-attending. If the student is still enrolled in the class, send an email to walterj@daytonastate.edu with the information listed above along with a brief note Indicating the attendance should be “Y”. If the student is no longer enrolled he/she should be sent to the Registration Office to begin the reinstatement process. The student will provide you with the form to be signed and will need to satisfy fees immediately upon registration.
