FAQs

UConn is a non-attendance university which means the institution verifies to the federal government that we do not grade attendance. Additionally, per University bylaws, grades cannot be graded on attendance. Grades can be based on measures which evaluate their achievement of learning objectives, such as assessments, assignments, and lab reports. In contrast, grading attendance is grading on student behavior, not competence.
