One strong attendance record can make a combined average look comfortable while another course remains short. When attendance is assessed course by course, each course needs its own forecast.
Subject Attendance Forecast provides a row for held classes, attended classes, remaining classes and the future sessions you plan to attend. The requirement is editable and applies to all rows in this worksheet.
Record the same information for each subject
Use the latest attendance register for current figures. Planned future attendance is a separate entry and cannot exceed the number of classes still expected.
If two courses have different minimum requirements, run separate worksheets or groups with the appropriate threshold. This version has one requirement field for the entire entered list.
Course labels identify rows only. They do not tell the calculator whether a lecture, practical or laboratory should count differently.
Two courses meeting a 75% example rule
For Mathematics, enter 40 held classes, 30 attended, 20 remaining and 18 planned future attended. Final attendance would be 48 out of 60, or 80%.
For English, enter 30 held, 25 attended, 15 remaining and ten planned attended. The final record would be 35 out of 45, approximately 77.78%.
Both rows meet an entered 75% requirement, so the number of courses below that threshold is zero. The result is not an overall average of the two percentages.
Inspect the row that is short
The status belongs to each individual forecast. A row below the requirement needs either a different feasible attendance plan or clarification of the official record and policy.
The tool rejects attended counts above held counts, planned counts above future counts, and a course with no held or future sessions. A percentage needs a nonzero final denominator.
Planned classes are not recorded attendance
A forecast assumes the planned sessions will be held and attended. It does not update a register or grant attendance credit in advance.
Refresh the worksheet when a cancellation, additional class or new absence changes the counts. Keeping the old plan after the schedule changes can leave its percentages looking precise but no longer relevant.
For a single course needing recovery, Attendance Recovery calculates consecutive future classes required. For a fixed remaining course, Future Absence Allowance gives the maximum arithmetic absence allowance.
Use the exported register to discuss your plan, while keeping the institution’s official record as the source for administrative decisions.
