To ensure compliance with the Community and Junior College appropriation bill and to meet the requirements as established by the MCCB, an attendance repository is available to MSVCC participants for documenting hosted and/or provided attendance.

Note: The determination of exactly what constitutes a learning activity may be left to individual institutions and their instructors. However, learning activities should demonstrate participation in the course. Participation in these learning activities should be used when determining a last date of attendance that is reported to consortium members.
