Student Attendance Monitoring

Overview

To implement a centralized automated system (linked to the CIS student record) for use by departments offering courses of study, to record and report on student attendance, in order to pick up on problems and to meet new statutory requirements.

Points Based System

Specifically CiCS is developing:

• Developing Integration with the registers module within the central timetable and room allocation system.

• Developing a bespoke system to record one to one meetings with students.

• Building an interface to enable departments using a (computerised) monitoring system to upload the attendance information into the central database.

• Developing a browse facility to bring together information from registers, 1to1 facility and departmental systems.

Student Services and Research Innovation Services are providing guidance on Student Attendance Monitoring.
