Student Attendance Requirements
Starting with the May 2023 term, attendance will now be submitted and recorded through weekly Attendance Quizzes. These quizzes will support the course material while also allowing you to stay engaged with a quicker and easier attendance process. Make sure you are completing these on time to stay within your attendance requirement!
- Quizzes will be a 1 question multiple choice quiz.
- There will be 3 weekly attendance quizzes due on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays by 11:59 PM PST of each due date.
- Quizzes submitted within 24 hours after each due date will be marked Tardy; anything after will be considered Absent.
- You can work ahead! All 3 attendance quizzes are available at the beginning of each week, so you can complete them at once for that week’s attendance!
- Whether you get the attendance right or wrong, you’ll still receive attendance for complete on the attendance quizzes.
- ALL components of the weekly discussion are now due on Saturdays at 11:59 PM PST of each week, except week 5 which will be due on Thursday 11:59 PM PST.
Reminder: Students may not exceed 14 days of consecutive non-attendance.
If you have additional questions or need extra support, please book an appointment with your student success advisor.
There are three (3) five-week terms in a semester evaluation period. At the conclusion of each semester period, a student’s grades and progress are evaluated. Learn more about Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Frequently Asked Questions Attendance:
The weekly discussion questions will still be an assignment towards your grades, but they will no longer count towards attendance.
No, they are all due on Saturday.
Yes, you can work ahead! All 3 attendance quizzes are available at the beginning of each week, so you can complete them at once for that week’s attendance.
The design and the intent of the new attendance format is to provide students more time flexibility and less stress rather than additive assignments on top. Many students have found it challenging to dedicate the time needed during the week for in-depth discussion questions, did not prefer the reliance on other students’ activities (ie. discussion replies), and requested fewer deadlines during the week to balance work, family, and more. We react to ongoing feedback from students from multiple channels including end-of-course surveys (we read EVERY comment, one-on-one student advising sessions, phone calls, emails, class feedback through instructors, grades and performance data, and more).
The Attendance Quiz is worth 1 point.
Whether you get the attendance right or wrong, you’ll still receive attendance for complete on the attendance quizzes.
This change has no impact on your financial aid including GI Bill. We’d be happy to go through anything you’re worried about for your personal funding concerns, for extra financial aid support please email financialaid@ciat.edu.
Live lectures are highly encouraged but not required, you must complete attendance quizzes to receive attendance credit.
Attendance quizzes are automatically graded and reflected in your Canvas gradebook.

I am on my way to obtaining my cyber security degree with CIAT. I never thought going to college would be possible for someone my age, especially for an IT degree. CIAT has been an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to be better at what they do in the IT field.

I wanted training and certification in the Cybersecurity field. At CIAT, I am receiving that education and so much more. The professors, administration and all staff are extremely dedicated to my education and making sure I am doing my best and succeeding. The classes are intense and fast paced, and very informative. I enjoy immensely each class I take and what I am learning. CIAT is definitely setting me on the right track for a future in Cybersecurity.
