To ensure the accuracy of student records
Absences that are excused permit students to make up work without a penalty
To determine eligibility for the exam exemption.
3. Is taking an AP exam considered an excused absence?  Students taking an AP Exam are coded as "school activity" on the day they take an AP Exam. Therefore, their absence will not count against them for attendance regarding the Final Exam Exemption Incentive Policy.
