  6. Click “Submit”
  7. For census reporting, enter an E in the date that the student performed their first ACTIVITY in the class.  For online classes, this is a submitted activity, assignment, quiz, etc. For seated classes, this is the first day the student attends class. For hybrid courses, this is either the first online activity or the first day of seated attendance.

    TL Tardy last day

  8. After the census date, check the “no show” box beside each student who has not performed ANY ACTIVITY or attendance whatsoever in the class.
  9. Check the box that indicates “I hereby certify that I am submitting this attendance information via electronic transmission in lieu of a signature.”
    ONLY At the end of the semester, check the box that indicates “This is my final submission. All attendance has been entered for this section”
  10. Hit Submit and it will take you back to the screen where you can choose “Attendance Tracking” again- repeat these steps for all of your courses. If the lab and lecture are combined such that they meet on the same day, only one attendance sheet is necessary. If the lab and lecture meet on different days, then both attendance sheets could be maintained.
  11. Continue this process throughout the semester. Web Attendance should be updated at least once per week. 
  12. IMPORTANT: If a student stops attending your course, the last day attended “L” must be reported within 30 day, for Financial Aid purposes. 
  13. At the end of the semester, check the box that indicates “This is my final submission. All attendance has been entered for this section”
