Student guides
Use Nexus records carefully, understand the calculations, and know when to check the official portal.
How attendance estimates work
For a course with recorded attendance, divide attended classes by conducted classes and multiply by 100. Attending 30 of 40 classes gives 75%. When no classes have been conducted, there is no meaningful percentage to calculate.
For a 75% planning target, future attended classes increase both counts. If you attended 28 of 40 classes, attending the next eight gives 36 of 48, or 75%. The calculation is (28 + x) / (40 + x) ≥ 0.75. It assumes every one of those future classes is attended and counted.
Absences increase only the conducted count. With 36 of 40 classes attended, eight more absences would give 36 of 48, exactly 75%; a ninth would fall below it. These are planning examples, not permission to miss class. Check your course rules and official records before making a decision.
Course-level percentages matter: averaging percentages from courses with different class counts can hide a shortage in one course. Inspect each course and its recorded counts.
Read the day order, batch and period together
A calendar weekday and an academic day order are different things. Use the selected date and the university's announced day order, then check the batch shown in Nexus. Do not assume every Monday follows the same day order.
Match the course slot to its specific numbered period. A lab can occupy several periods; a similar slot label does not mean every lab period belongs to the same course. Check the time, room and course name on each row.
If a schedule is unavailable, do not treat it as a free day. Check the official timetable and any faculty announcements. A room change or special working day may supersede a saved schedule.
When records are missing or look old
- Check the record update time. Saved data can remain visible while a refresh fails.
- Use the page's Refresh control and wait for its result. Opening another page is not proof that the portal was fetched again.
- If Nexus asks you to reconnect an academic portal, follow that connection prompt. Refresh cannot restore an expired portal login on its own.
- If the official portal reports too many active sessions, use its own session management or sign-out flow, then try Nexus again.
- Compare unresolved discrepancies with the official report and send the affected page, approximate time and error text through Support. Never include passwords, login codes or session tokens.
Nexus cannot guarantee portal uptime or immediate updates. For deadlines or eligibility decisions, use the official source and ask the relevant faculty or university office.
