1. The Attendance Tool allows you to record attendance and allows the student to track their attendance. It consists of creating an attendance scheme, creating a register, and taking attendance. NOTE:  The Attendance does not connect with the Grade book

11. The Cause for Concern percentage is based on the percentages you assigned in your scheme and your attendance policy in your syllabus and will alert you when a student is at risk.  It is optional and does not connect with the Grade book.

14. Under Sessions you will create the dates of your class.  For example, if you teach 15 class sessions, you will need 15 rows in your Sessions area.  

Step 14 image
15. Since creating this can be a click-intensive process, I recommend that you use code such as W1M for Week 1 Monday.  That way you can reuse this register anytime you teach a MWF class.
