Late-Semester Attendance Recovery Scenarios: the core idea
Near the end of a term, a small number of remaining classes limits how far attendance can move. Best-case, expected and disruption scenarios reveal whether recovery is feasible or whether formal guidance is needed immediately.
A practical method for late-semester attendance recovery
Start with verified counts and build three forecasts using different numbers of remaining held classes. For each forecast, calculate the result only after all those classes are attended, then compare it with the applicable requirement.
Checks and pitfalls for late-semester attendance recovery
Extra classes, cancellations and locked attendance windows can invalidate a forecast. Do not wait for the last teaching day to report a likely shortage or rely on unconfirmed special classes.
