Which of the following yields 3 attendance points?

• A. Unexcused Absence
• B. Excused Leaving Less Than 10 Minutes Early
• C. Excused Arriving More Than Half Way Through
• D. Excused Arriving More Than 10 Minutes Late

Answer: (D)

Attendance points are tied to how long you’re late or how you depart, with time thresholds that determine the penalty. Even if a late arrival is excused, crossing a certain threshold still carries a fixed point value to reflect the disruption. In this policy, arriving more than ten minutes after class starts is treated as a significant lateness and earns three attendance points. That’s why the scenario describing an excused arrival more than ten minutes late yields three points. The other options involve different attendance statuses—such as an unexcused absence, a small early departure, or a late arrival that’s not past the ten-minute mark—each carrying different point amounts or categories, not the three-point lateness category.
