Attendance
Attendance and participation in course activities is required of you as a Purdue Global student. While much of your coursework will consist of reading and working on graded assignments, it is critical that you perform certain academic activities on a regular basis that record official attendance at the University.
These activities include the following:
- Post/reply to any classroom discussion topic/thread within the Brightspace classroom.
- Submit an exam/quiz (or readiness assessment in ExcelTrack®) within the Brightspace classroom.
- Submit an assignment (or competency assessment in ExcelTrack®) via the drop box within the
- Brightspace classroom.
- Post to the instructor’s virtual office within the Brightspace classroom.
Academic Calendar
Review the Academic Calendar for important dates, including term start and end dates, withdrawal deadlines, and official school holidays.
Brightspace and External Learning Tools: Any academic activity conducted via an external learning tool (as indicated in the Brightspace classroom under the name of the activity) such as WileyPLUS, Pearson My Lab, and McGraw-Hill Connect does not record official attendance with the University.
