Overview

SEAtS offers two methods for calculating student attendance percentage. The calculation method is configured at tenant level and applies uniformly across the institution — it cannot differ by School or Course.

Attendance Percentage By Frequency (Default)

Based solely on whether the student attended their scheduled classes over a date range. Formula: (Total attended classes ÷ Total scheduled classes) × 100

📝 Note: Cancelled classes and Marked Attended Other Lecture do not count. Only mandatory scheduled classes are included.

Attendance Percentage By Duration

Based on the duration a student attended their scheduled classes over a date range. Formula: (Total minutes attended ÷ Total scheduled minutes) × 100

📝 Note: Workflow percentage checks always use Frequency, not Duration.

Example

3 classes scheduled: two 2-hour classes and one 1-hour class. Student attends the 1-hour class in full, is 15 minutes late for one 2-hour class, and is absent for the other 2-hour class.

By Frequency: (1 + 0 + 1) / 3 = 66.67% (2 out of 3 classes attended) By Duration: (105 + 0 + 60) / (120 + 120 + 60) = 55% (165 min out of 300 min attended)

📝 Note: Both Attended and Late statuses count as attended in frequency calculations by default.
