ATTENDANCE ≠(P) PASS------STOPPED ATTENDING ≠ (NP) NO PASS

Please do not automatically assign students a ‘P’ if they’ve attended regularly, nor automatically assign an ‘NP’ if they are no longer attending. In our open entry/exit program, studentsmay spend a short time with usandimprove rapidly, or take many semesters to progressbecause of challenging life situations. Therefore, abad attendance record does not always mean poor progress and a good attendance record doesn’t always mean that a student is ready to be promoted. The guidelines below weredeveloped through extensive discussions in our Noncredit Curriculum Committee.

is ready to move up to the next level, but refuses to go / P
is still on your PARS, but was transferred up a level / P
came to class every day, then left or disappeared / P or SP
is not on your PARS, but is a good student (fill out orange scantron) / P or SP
made satisfactory progress while attending your class / SP
stopped attending, but was making progress / SP
is a chronic repeater of the same level (depends on reason) / P, SP, or NP
entered late into the class (teacher discretion) / P, SP, or NP
consistently performs poorly in class / NP
may never progress, in your judgment / NP
is still on your PARS, but was transferred down a level / NP
