FAQ
What does the result represent?
The number of classes you can miss and still satisfy the attendance requirement.
Why use ceiling?
It rounds up the needed classes so you don't fall short.
Can I enter decimal class counts?
No, total classes should be whole numbers.
Does it consider excused absences?
All absences are treated the same; verify policies with your institution.
Additional Information
