ATTENDANCE

 

The College operates a proximity card-based electronic attendance recording system.  There is a card reader in each room, and you should swipe your card at the start of each lesson.

How do I swipe?

  • Don't swipe more than five minutes before the scheduled start of the lesson.
  • If you are unsure if the swipe was successful, just swipe again.

 

How do I check my attendance record?

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that your attendance record is correct. Keep checking it.
  • Attend your tutor group lesson each week. You will be shown a printout of your record.
  • Log onto Blackboard and display your attendance record.  

 

How do I correct errors?

  • If you forget to swipe, swipe too early, or swipe carelessly, you may be marked as absent from a lesson which you attended.
  • If this happens, log on to Blackboard and print out a list of your absences. Take this to your teacher and ask them to sign it, then hand the form in to the Information Centre.
  • You must correct all errors within three weeks.
