To satisfactorily complete a course, a student must:
- follow the course developed or endorsed by the Board
- apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort
- achieve some or all of the course outcomes.

Satisfactory completion can be judged by attendance, level of involvement in class, assignments and tasks completed, and level of achievement. Failure to meet one or more of these requirements may lead to an 'N' or 'Non-completion' determination. An 'N' determination for a course may make a student ineligible for the HSC.

There might not be any specific attendance requirements, but your teacher could argue you have not met any of the 3 main reasons above.

You should check your school policy for N awards-because each school has a system that is slightly different. In short, you should attend classes regularly unless you have a valid reason not to to avoid getting N awards.
