Attendance

The Attendance tool can assist in the following ways:

• To track attendance data and use as part of a students' overall grade.
• To record attendance for International students who may need to meet attendance requirements for their visa.
• To prove “seat time” for federal funding or accreditation.
• To focus on student retention.

For each class meeting, you can mark whether a student is present, late, absent, or excused. The attendance records for each student appear in a single column next to other grades.

You can use attendance as part of calculating grades just as you can for an assignment grade column.
