I loved study tables and my GPA went up when I was required to attend, so I ended up attending even when I wasn't required. I even set up a system for myself when I was in grad school.
But I was (and still am, I guess), a huge nerd. It didn't work for most of the rest of my chapter, but rewarding high GPAs and good performance on quizzes and exams, along with study skills tips and assistance with time management did work for lots of people.
In short - you can't rely on study hours (or I guess in this case "hour's") to do the hard work for you. Implement a full-on scholarship program and you'll probably see better results. Forcing someone to sit in a library for 2 hours a day "just cause" is pointless. There's no point in punishing folks for not attending if their GPA is still at or above the required GPA
