Introduction: Academic success is the level of student performance in courses. Many factors such as class attendance affect academic success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between academic success of Bezmialem Vakıf University students and their attendance in classes. Method: The study was conducted retrospectively on 597 students studying in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. We accessed course attendance data via a QR code from the training management system. The student success status was accessed from the student information system. Each student's score and attendance percentage are matched. The relationship between the data was examined using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Additionally, a survey was conducted to determine the reasons for absenteeism. One hundred thirty eight people participated in the survey. Results: The r value was found to be 0.305, and the p value was <0.001 when a: 0.05. The r value indicates a positive correlation between success and absenteeism; the p value indicates high significance. Of the 138 students who participated in the survey, 63.2% were female and 36.8% were male. 32.47% had long breaks; 33.05% had a busy schedule; 35.19% had inefficiency; 37.5% had lost motivation; 33.73% had a negative instructor's approach; 31.54% responded that sleep problems caused them to be absent "occasionally". It has been observed that transportation, diseases, and weather cause absenteeism, albeit "rarely". Also, it was found that thinking that the department is not suitable for oneself, family pressure, and having to work do not "never" cause of absenteeism in most of the students. Conclusion: Absenteeism affects success, but there are other factors that affect academic success, and these factors can also be investigated.
