DO colleges look high school's attendance?

<p>I'm just curious because I've been absent often lately.
Do colleges look at that? Is it bad to have it?</p>

<p>i think it only needs to be reported if the absences lead to some kind of disciplinary action given by the high school...</p>

<p>btw... some advice...make an attempt to go to class more in college...</p>

<p>soooo many people fail out just because attendance is almost never required and they decide to not go to class. </p>

<p>you're paying good money for it... may as well go</p>

<p>If they didn't see my 50 absences, I'm sure they won't see your meager amount.</p>

<p>Oh, so it does not matter at all!</p>

<p>not quite... it all depends on your high school's attendance policy...</p>

<p>kids in my high school who had 13 absences had to complete summer school...kids with 19 or more absences were kicked out and put into alternate school...</p>

<p>find out your school's attendance policy...if you have an amount that leads to disciplinary action... you usually have to report it on your application...</p>
