For me, attendance was taken at the VERY beginning because of student grants. You'd have to get the prof's sig to show you are attending the class. After that, they didn't care.
I am fairly surprised they are checking attendance. At my Uni...like, if you were a regular attender, they knew you by name and face, but otherwise they NEVER took regular attendance. Well...at least in my courses. I always felt it was because 1) you're an adult and can make your own choices and 2) it's your (okay, maybe not) money for classes.
I am even more surprised they want to talk with you about all of this. I mean, for me, the ONLY time the uni I went to had talks with a student is when that student plagurized something (I remember it too, because he had this ghost-white face and then later that day one of my profs had to leave early to listen about 'a student who plaguerized'. Didn't take me long to put two and two together, and for that matter to realize that if said prof was going to be listening and deciding on that student's fate, that the student was screwed).
Even more surprising is the uni never really contacted you before this? I guess they buried this policy in the rules somewhere but usually you are given a few warnings.
How ya doing, buddy?
