Why attendance matters at VU
Virtual University needs at least 80% attendance for you to sit in the final term exam. If your attendance falls below 80%, you may be stopped from taking the exam. Checking your percentage through the term tells you how many lectures you can still miss — and when you need to attend every class.
How attendance percentage is calculated
The formula is simple: attendance percentage = (lectures attended ÷ total lectures held) × 100. For example, if you attended 24 lectures out of 30 held, your attendance is (24 ÷ 30) × 100 = 80%. If you attended 21 out of 30, it is (21 ÷ 30) × 100 = 70% — below the 80% line, so you would need to attend the next lectures to bring it back up.
How many lectures can you still miss?
Take the total lectures held and multiply by 0.8 — that is the number you must have attended to stay at 80%. For example, if 30 lectures have been held, you must have attended at least 24. If you have attended 26, you can miss 2 more lectures and still be at 80% once 32 lectures have been held (26 ÷ 32 = 81%).
How to use the attendance calculator
The calculator is one of the 30 free study tools on the Virtual Ustaad homepage. Open the homepage, find the Attendance Calculator tool, enter the lectures you attended and the total lectures held, and it shows your attendance percentage at once. Check it every week so a few missed lectures do not push you below 80% without you noticing.
