§ 68016 Continuous Student Attendance Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •Continuous attendance means being a full-time student for a whole school year without big breaks.
  • •You don’t have to go to summer school to keep your attendance 'continuous'.
  • •The school decides what counts as full-time.

Example

A student goes to college full-time from August to May every year but skips summer classes.

Their attendance is still 'continuous' because they went full-time for the normal school year and didn’t have to take summer classes.

§ 68016 Continuous Student Attendance Definition

“Continuous attendance,” as it refers to attendance at an institution, means a student claiming continuous attendance who has been enrolled full time, as determined by the governing board or district governing board, as appropriate, for a normal academic year at the institution since the beginning of the period for which continuous attendance is claimed. Nothing in this section shall require a student to attend summer sessions or other terms beyond the normal academic year in order to render his or her attendance “continuous.” (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1372, Sec. 229.)
