Class Attendance

Purpose: These settings dictate how you configure Class attendance at the College-level or Classroom-Level.
How to Access: Administration > Control Panel > SI Class Attendance

When you access this area, you'll be asked to select the Scope of what Locations do these Class settings and options apply. There are certain general settings that can only be found on the school scope and not on the Class scope, however, most settings will be the same for all the scopes. Notice that if you change a specific setting at the center scope then that setting would apply for that center regardless of the similar setting you can find on the school scope, so for most settings what you set at the center scope takes precedence over the settings at the school scope, it is recommended to do the changes when possible to the center scope. Appointment options are broken into several sections of settings that you can change from the defaults:

  • Tolerances
    • Tardy period: X minutes - Where X is the number of minutes that must pass for a student to be considered “Tardy.” If you want the students to be on time but allow them 5 minute grace period, this is where you would place that number; otherwise, leave 0. (It is recommended to allow some time for the students sign in)
    • Cut-off period: X minutes - Where X is the number of minutes that the students are considered “Cut-off.” If you want the Students to be counted as absent after a given time period, even if they show up, you would place that number. This number should be greater than or equal to the “Tardy” period.
    • Duration: X minutes - Where X is the duration of most classes so that when you create a new class instance, it is given this default amount this time. (You can customize this value as needed for specific classes)
    • Allow students to sign in early by X minutes - Where X is the number of minutes that the students are allowed to sign in before the actual time the class starts. For example, if you want the Students to promote promptness, it would be nice to give them at least 10-15 minutes. This can be set to as low as 5 minutes.
If a particular class does not want these rules to be followed, you can manually override them when creating the class itself. More information available in Scheduled Classes section of Subject Areas. Students do not have to Sign-out from class as it gives them the end of the class time as the Sign-out time.
  • Referrals
    • Show only classes of the current term (enabled by default)
  • Unresolved Sign-Ins: Customize actions when there is an unresolved log.
    • When a student not registered signs in to a class:
      • Reject and discard
      • Record in standby
      • Record sign-in
      • Record sign-in and register automatically
    • When encountering a sign-in when there is no class:
      • Reject and discard
      • Record in standby
    • When encountering duplicated sign-ins in the same class session:
      • Reject and discard
      • Record in standby
    • When encountering multiple classes at the same time:
      • Reject and discard
      • Record in standby
      • Record sign-in based on enrollment info
  • Schedule Customization: Set the days that your college offers classes.
It is recommended when possible to choose “Record in standby” so you can store this information in case you need to fix someone's attendance in the future or follow up on the reason students signed in at the wrong time/had duplicated sign-ins etcetera
