Important Notes

Pre-Deadline Corrections: You can make any necessary adjustments directly in MAUI before the submission deadline. Please email Reg-MAUI-Support to reopen your attendance list.

Post-Deadline Corrections: For non-attendance corrections after the deadline, particularly related to financial aid eligibility, please email the details to OSFA-Attendance.

Exceptions: If your course begins after Sept. 26 or if final grades are already open for entry, submission of the attendance list is not required. In such scenarios, we trust you will handle attendance communications with your students directly.

Academic Engagement

Academic Engagement by a student includes, but is not limited to:

Attending asynchronous class, lecture, recitation, or field or laboratory activity, physically or online, where there is an opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students;
Submitting an academic assignment;
Taking an assessment or an exam;
Participating in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or other interactive computer-assisted instruction;
Participating in a study group, group project, or an online discussion that is assigned by the institution;
Interacting with an instructor about academic matters.

Additional Information

Institutional Accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission

As a federally recognized accrediting agency, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is required to assure that member institutions are meeting their Title IV program responsibilities as well as complying with specific regulations accreditors must enforce as a part of their recognition by the U.S. Department of Education.

The University of Iowa is allowed to require attendance once and still be considered an institution that does not take attendance. To establish federal financial aid eligibility, students must attend all registered classes at least once during the first ten days of each semester. If instructors report a student as not attending, financial aid may be canceled or reduced.

A Note from the Office of Student Financial Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid does not want to cancel aid for students who are participating in academic engagement but whose instructors did not verify this activity. If a student participates in only one activity, they should be reported as attending even if this doesn't meet the course expectations. If instructors initially report a student as not attending and then the student participates in an academic activity, the instructor can email osfa-attendance@uiowa.edu to certify the attendance for the student for financial aid purposes.
