Accudemia: How do I take class attendance?

Introduction

Staff can keep track of class attendance using Accudemia. Students can be marked as being present, absent, late, or excused if they're unable to attend a class for a valid reason. This article will explain how to reach the class attendance page, and how to change a student's status.

Only administrators or instructors with particular permissions can edit a student's status.

Step-by-Step

Finding the class session

1. Navigate to Class Attendance > Attendance.

2. Search for the class from the list and select it.

The panel on the left can search by class CRN, name, and the Term options.

3. Search for the specific session from that class and select it.

Taking Attendance

Students can be marked in one of three ways:

• PRESENT STUDENTS: The students who were present in the class.
• BEYOND CUT-OFF / EXCUSED ABSENT STUDENTS: The students who were either late or excused from the class.
  
• ABSENT STUDENTS: The students who were absent from class.
  

Mark a student as present

If a student was present but didn't sign, they can be placed into the "PRESENT STUDENTS" list.

1. Select the student(s) that were marked as absent by checking the boxes by their names.

2. Click the Mark as Present button at the top of the screen.

3. Click Yes when the system asks "Are you sure you want to mark selected students as present?"

Mark a student as absent

If a student was mistakenly marked as present, they can be placed back on the "ABSENT STUDENTS" list.

1. Select the student(s) that were marked as present by checking the boxes by their names.

2. Click the Mark as Absent button at the top of the screen.

3. Click Yes when the system asks "Are you sure you want to mark selected students as absentees?"

Late/Excused

If a student was late to class or had an excused absence, they can be placed into the "BEYOND CUT-OFF / EXCUSED ABSENT STUDENTS" list.

1. Select the student(s) that were marked as present/absent by checking the boxes by their names.

2. Click the Tardy or Excuse button at the top of the screen.

If the student was late, another menu will appear asking how late the student was.

3. Click Save to change the student(s) status.
