Attendance Taking
• Imposed on Faculty Foundation courses, i.e.
ENGG1100, ENGG1110, ENGG1310 and
ENGG1410.
• At least 50% of attendance is required
• Attendance less than 50% will FAIL the whole
course regardless of academic performance
• The best strategy is to attend all classes! If you
are not sure about your attendance, check with
the teaching assistants or the course teachers.
