Attendance Step 2

Last changed on:

Main Dashboard > Student > Attendance

The Attendance and Results screen will show you two sections as follows –

Section 1

This section displays information about the selected class, including the class name, date range, and timetable. In this section, you can mark attendance or absence for the students on a daily or weekly basis by using the appropriate radio button. You also have the option to modify the dates as needed.

In the Summary section of the class information, two icons are available for accessing the options of Change Class and New Timetable. This will make it easier for users to access these features and make any necessary changes to their class schedule.

  • Change Class Icon – The Change Class icon allows users to select a different class to mark attendance for. It will redirect the user to the previous screen, where they can select a new class and continue marking attendance.
  • New Timetable Icon –  The New Timetable icon allows you to select a different timetable and date range for attendance. Clicking this icon will redirect the user to the previous screen, where they can select a new timetable and date range.

Section 2

Allows you to mark attendance or absence for the students under the Attendance or Absence tab. You can also record the student’s results under the Results tab.

Can’t see a SAVE button on the screen?

Unlike other screens in the system, this screen will auto-save when you enter or edit data in it.

Attendance Tab

  • In the Attendance tab, you can record whether a student is present or absent, depending on how the timetable was set up. To do so, select the checkbox next to each student for whom you want to mark attendance or absence.
  • When you select the checkbox for a student, the system will display a number in two boxes next to the checkbox. These boxes represent the total class duration in hours and minutes, indicating the time period for which attendance can be marked.
  • If a student attended or was absent for only part of the class, you can adjust the numbers in the hours and minutes boxes accordingly. However, the modified values cannot be greater than the original number displayed in the boxes. The system only allows you to mark attendance or absence for the actual amount of time the student was present or absent in the class.
Can’t select the check box for a student to mark attendance?

If you are unable to select the checkbox for a student, it may be because the student has a student holiday recorded in the system that is linked to their specific enrolment. In this case, you cannot mark the student as attended or absent for the duration of the holiday period.

Results Tab

  • In the Results tab, the top section of the screen displays a summary of the subjects or units of study linked to the class. This section allows you to view the subjects or units of study associated with the class. For each student enrolled in the class, the system displays the subjects or units of study they are linked to, along with any results that have been recorded for those subjects or units of study.
  • To mark a result for a particular subject or unit of study for a student, select the Result dropdown for that subject or unit of study. This dropdown will be located next to the student’s name in the Results tab.
Note: There are a few results (Recognition of prior learning, Did not start, etc.) appear in red. You should only see them when you are reviewing historical enrolment results. They are inactive results that you may have linked to a subject and you need to see them so that you can change them where needed. If you see these results in the list, do not use them as they will not be accepted in your National Student data submissions, and may lead to errors.
Result date is mandatory and you don’t record dates?

As part of your AVETMISS compliance requirements, your student results require result dates. To protect your data for AVETMISS data submissions the system will make the result date mandatory where:

1. Any Subject set with Type of Subject is Unit of Competency (UoC) – Nationally Accredited in the Subject entry screen OR
2. Any Unit of Study that has a VET subject linked to it and meets the requirements in point 1 above.
