TAPS / No Show and Last Date of Attendance (LDOA)

• If a student has never attended, use TAPS No Show to drop the student from the roster.

• The LDOA for a “No Show” is the semester start date.
  Fall 2026 No Show date: 08/17/2026

• If a student has withdrawn or has been dropped for non-attendance, a grade of W, WF, or WN will be recorded as a final grade and will not appear as a midterm grade.
  No action is required for midterm grading.

• If a student has stopped attending and meets the conditions for a non-attendance withdrawal, use TAPS Drop Roster to drop the student and assign the appropriate WN or WF grade.
