Attendance Sheets

All students are expected to attend every session of their courses. Instructors have the right to weigh class participation, exams and attendance in determining grades.

Each semester Faculty Services distributes two (2) attendance sheets to the instructors:

  • First Day Attendance Sheet
  • Updated Final Attendance Sheet
The First Day Attendance Sheet is prepared before the first day of classes and reflects all registrations processed through the end of the regular registration period.

Students are listed in alphabetic order, with a five-digit identifier. A class roster accompanies the attendance sheet and provides email addresses of the students registered in the class.

Attendance sheets must be submitted bi-weekly to the CAPS Registrar,  55 Lexington Avenue, Room 116 (fax: 646-312-5101).

Attendance sheets may not be submitted late. This allows us to comply with federal regulations governing attendance reports for international students.

The Updated Final Attendance Sheet is prepared after the late-registration period ends. It includes all changes that have taken place after the regular registration period ended. Changes may be the result of changes of program, cancellation for failure to pay tuition, or a late registration.

These updated attendance sheets are distributed at the beginning of the third week of the semester and are also used for submitting final grades.

If a student claims to have registered for your course and his/her name does not appear on the roster, please ask the student to provide a copy of a registration receipt dated after the date your attendance sheet was printed. If the student cannot provide this receipt, direct the student to Enrollment Services (55 Lexington Ave, Room 116). If the student resolves the registration problem, the student will receive a new registration receipt or other proof of registration that the student will be able to show you.

Students should be registered for the course section they are attending. Informal arrangements to allow a student to "sit in" a different section of the course may end up with the student receiving a failing grade in the section for which he/she is registered. Resolving this registration problem after the term ends can be very problematic for the student and the instructor(s) involved.

Please be sure to send any students with registration problems to the CAPS office. The CAPS office is open until 7PM.
