Students must attend at least 75% of classes to receive credit towards seminary graduation each semester. Because seminary has no homework or other assignments, the only "work" of seminary is attendance. As a result, students with less than 75% attendance will need to complete makeup work even if those absences are excused by the school or by a parent.
Parents can check their student's attendance and excuse absences at any time at myseminary.churchofjesuschrist.org.. Click on "Class Sessions" to see the attendance calendar.
