Enter one course’s counts and calculate to see your current percentage, recovery requirement and future scenario.
How to use the planner
- Open the latest official report for one course. Copy the attended and conducted counts using the same unit: classes, periods or hours. Do not mix units.
- Enter the target applicable to that course. The default 75% is an illustrative planning target, not a statement of university policy.
- Enter how many future classes you expect to attend and miss. The result is a scenario, not a prediction of the timetable.
- Compare the result with the official report and check how many classes actually remain before relying on the recovery count.
Why recovery takes more classes than you might expect
Suppose you attended 28 of 40 classes: 28 ÷ 40 × 100 = 70%. Attending two more does not produce 30 of 40. Those classes also increase the total, so the result is 30 of 42, about 71.43%.
At a 75% target, eight consecutive attended classes produce 36 of 48, exactly 75%. The tool solves (attended + x) ÷ (conducted + x) ≥ target ÷ 100 and rounds the required class count upward.

What this result can tell you
The calculation is exact for the whole-number counts and target you supply. It cannot verify whether the report is current, whether a lab counts as several periods, whether a class was cancelled, or whether an exemption applies. Zero conducted classes means there is no percentage yet.
Meeting a planning percentage does not establish exam eligibility. Faculty and official university records determine applicable requirements. The planner does not read saved Nexus records or change your attendance.
