Sometimes faculty need to verify whether a student was enrolled in a course. This can be done by first checking the last date the student was active in the course. If this date is after the start of the term, faculty will then also need to check whether the student received any grades. The last date of Attendance is defined as the date the student last had activity in the course.  This date can be easily identified through Class Progress and running through the options to see the last date stamped activity.
