Classes You Can Miss Calculator

Many syllabi set an attendance limit as a share of the classes. Enter the number of classes, the limit and your absences so far to see the room left under that limit.

How it works

Multiply the number of classes by the limit percent to get the absences allowed, rounded down. Subtract the absences you already have to find what is left.

This follows only the limit in your syllabus. Some courses count late arrivals or require a minimum attendance grade, so read the full policy.

Worked example

Out of 40 classes with a 10% percent limit, 4 absences are allowed, so 2 are left after the 2 you have so far.

Questions

Does an excused absence count?

It depends on the course. Ask your instructor how excused absences are counted.

Is this advice about attendance?

No. It shows the arithmetic of your syllabus limit and nothing more.

What if my syllabus lists a set number instead of a percent?

Then the number allowed is already written down. Read it from the syllabus and subtract your absences from it.
