Body
- The purpose of the Attendance Verification and Non-Attendance Reporting is to ensure Federal Title IV regulations are adhered to with respect to a student's enrollment level for the purpose of calculating and paying financial aid.

- Students reported as not being active within the first 2 weeks of the semester will be administratively dropped without tuition penalty; this includes students receiving financial aid - no funds will be disbursed.
- The non-attendance report must be completed for ALL courses.
- Instructors access Non-Attendance reporting from my.metro.
- Non-attendance application update, starting summer 2021, will no longer display withdrawn students.
