Managing SI Class Attendance
Managing SI Class Attendance is fairly simple as we do not use a traditional attendance book and all information collected in Accudemia is via the Student swiping in or typing their ID in at the Computer Sign-in Station you have setup.
View SI Class Attendance Online
- Navigate to the Attendance section under the SI Class Attendance heading in the left-side menu.
- Now select the Semester in the drop-down menu and then search for the Class Name or Class Registration Number (CRN). Then click on the Class in the list below and then click the Next button.
- Then select the day you would like to view the SI Class Attendance for that Class and click the Next button. Note: This view will show all the previous classes that have occurred along with the the next day's SI Class Attendance.
- Finally you can manage the Class Attandance for the selected Class for that specific day.
Mark a Student Present, Absent, Tardy, or Excused
To get to proper area manage the SI Class Attendance for a specific Class on a specific day follow the above article View SI Class Attendance Online. Once here you'll notice you can mark the student several different Attendance Statuses. To change their mark for that day:
- Select all the students that you want to change by placing a check next to their name.
- Now click the appropriate button you want to mark their Attendance Status and here is a brief explanation of each option:
- Present - This means the student(s) did come to Class on time and attended the session.
- Absent - This means that the student(s) was/were not there for the Class session.
- Tardy - This means that the student(s) did come to the Class session but they were late. This status still counts student as Present. Note: The system will ask you to state how Tardy/late they were if you would like to provide this information.
- Excused - This means that the student was either absent or late but given credit as showing because of a valid excuse. This status still counts student as Present. Note: The system will ask you to state the reason they were Excused if you would like to provide this information.
- You can also add/or remove a student to this session if they attended it but are not a regular attendee or if they were not signed-up/enrolled in the class on that date. If you want to enroll students in the Class permanently then follow the steps outlined in the next article.
