In an effort to comply with U.S. Department of Education policies, attendance is generally defined as any submission of an assignment that can receive a grade (in Learning Management System or disparate system) within the enrollment dates of the course, or initiating contact with a professor regarding a question related to the academic subject studied in the course.
