The NC Community College System requires students to participate in classes by the course Census Date, which occurs 10% into the term. This link will take you to the NC Community Colleges Code 1G SBCCC 200.93 Reporting of Student Hours.
To demonstrate appropriate attendance and punctuality, students should:
- Every student regardless of location or mode of delivery must attend at least one face-to-face class meeting or complete one assignment/activity for an online class by the census date or be reported by the instructor as “never attended.”
- A student who has never attended a class by the ten percent (10%) date is no longer enrolled in the class and will not earn credit or receive a tuition refund for the course.
- To locate the census date, login to the MySCC portal, then click on the Self Service icon to access the Faculty Menu. Census dates are shown across from the section name.
- Students in online / web-centered courses must actively participate; logging in or emailing the instructor is not sufficient for the census activity. Student completion of an activity must be recorded as the first item in the Moodle Grade Center.
- This link takes you to a tutorial that describes how to add your census activity in Self Service (opens in a new page).
