Taking attendance

Attendance is taken session by session, on the group’s page: each student attended, was late, was absent or was excused. Owners, anyone whose role can manage Groups, and the instructors assigned to the group can mark it.

Mark attendance

Students and Attendance on a group's page, with a status list in today's column highlighted — **The group's register**

Mark as late, asking how many minutes late the student was, with Save and Skip highlighted — **Mark as late**

Open the group’s page, from Teaching → Groups. In Students & Attendance, find the student’s row and the session’s column; today’s column is highlighted. Choose Attended, Late, Absent or Excused. Attended and Absent are saved as soon as you choose them.
For Late or Excused, a box asks how many minutes late the student was, or the reason. Enter it and press Save.
Or press Skip to record the status without it. Cancel leaves the register as it was.

Every session of the group has a column, the past ones too, so this is also where you correct an older register. The key under the register gives the colour of each status, and of Not marked. Students you leave unmarked stay unmarked; they are not recorded as absent.
