Introduction

Not every student will be prompted to complete a verification agreement. Students will be assigned if:

  • The student is enrolled in classes for the term
  • AND their bill is not settled,
  • AND after a review of their Blackboard, housing and card swipe activity, there is not confirmation of that the student is participating or engaging (in attendance).

For additional workflow details, the Attendance Verification Process Overview provides a written and visual explainer.

ⓘ NOTE:

  • If ‘No, Not Attending the Class’ is selected for each class, the Registrar Withdrawals website will automatically launch in a new window to provide more information regarding the official LOA and withdrawal process. If the student does not complete the official LOA or withdrawal process, OUR will take the action of withdrawing the student from the term as “confirmed not attending”.
    • If attending some classes but not attending a particular class, this action does not automatically drop that class. Students should go drop the class in this instance.
  • If ‘Yes, Attending the Class’ is selected for at least one class, the Student Financials website will automatically launch in a new window to provide more information regarding settlement of their account.
  1. Click on the Complete tab in the left menu, or the Next button in the top right, and review the details provided.
