Subject: REMINDER: 1st Day Non-Attendance - Fall 2024

Good Morning,

Please forward this email to all Fall 2024 instructional faculty and staff.

The University’s mandatory First Day Non-Attendance Drop policy is in effect for the first week of Fall 2024 classes. The use of different delivery methods for Fall 2024 classes does not remove this requirement. Dropping students for first day non-attendance is necessary in order for the university to remain in compliance with Federal Financial Aid regulations (and students expect it). This policy requires all faculty and instructional staff to take attendance at the first class meeting of the semester. This policy is non-discretionary and applies to all classes, regardless of campus, space availability in the class, delivery method, course level, and/or academic unit offering the class.

As a reminder, ‘attendance’ means making contact with the instructor as specified by the instructor at the start of the term. There are a number of ways this contact can be achieved. One way instructors can take first day attendance is via their Canvas course site(s). Please see First Day Attendance in Canvas<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.canvas.fsu.edu%2Fkb%2Farticle%2F810-first-day-attendance-in-canvas%2F&data=05%7C02%7CArt-instructors%40lists.fsu.edu%7C5c73a237555444c5a7fc08dcc5cacd5a%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638602722025132501%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Yih2X4eKXn%2FJSG6wmZQQTcYegeM2mOtovrSHLMmSBWA%3D&reserved=0> for more information and options. If you use Canvas to satisfy the first day attendance requirement, please note that you still need to report your first day non-attendance drops as directed below.
