Attendance & Engagement

To help students succeed, we monitor attendance and engagement

Academic Year 2025-26

Attendance Policy

To be considered attending, all students—whether enrolled in live or self-paced courses—must log into Canvas at least four days per week throughout the semester (excluding Fall Break and Spring Break).

Engagement Policy

Engagement means your student is consistently showing up and making steady progress in their learning. It is measured by the frequency of assignment submissions. In order to complete courses and meet required instructional hours, all students—whether enrolled in live or self-paced courses—must submit assignments on at least four separate days each week throughout the semester (excluding Fall and Spring Breaks)

How to Meet Engagement Requirements

Do one or more of the following:

  • Submit at least one assignment on four separate days each week (Monday–Sunday) 
  • Be current on all coursework with no missing or late assignments in any course
  • Maintain an 80% or higher grade in all courses

How This Benefits Students

This policy helps students stay on track while allowing for more flexibility and continued support in completing their coursework. Regularly attending and participating in classes each week leads to higher course completion rates overall, and students are better prepared to lead meaningful lives as principled leaders.

Understanding Our Attendance Policy

Staying engaged is key to your success! Watch this short video to learn how our attendance policy works and the flexible options available to meet the requirements.
