Positive Attendance records student attendance on a time basis, indicating the student was present in a class, whereas standard attendance recording indicates the student is absent or tardy from class. This is set up on a course-by-course basis, and is used at CCS only for approved courses, such as VCAP or Internships, where students may not attend on a regular schedule. Unlike traditional attendance, students are NOT assumed present - they must have attendance recorded as shown below, or they will show as absent.
