Take attendance

Attendance in Scholiq is per session — one row of the timetable for a course or cohort. Marks roll up automatically to the learner's attendance record and into compliance reports.

Goal​

By the end you will have taken attendance for one session, marked each learner as Present, Absent, Late or Excused, and seen the result on the learner's profile.

Prerequisites​

  • A course with sessions (lessons) scheduled on it. Sessions live under the course detail page → Lessons tab.
  • Enrolments on the course (see Enrol students).
  • Optional: a cohort timetable so the same session can pull learners from several courses.

Steps​

  1. Click Attendance in the left navigation. The list shows every session today, sorted by time.

  2. Pick the session you are teaching. The Mark attendance view opens with one row per enrolled learner.

  4. Click Save. The session moves to Recorded and the dashboard tile Open attendance flags drops by the count of absences you flagged.

  5. To confirm a single learner's record, open Learners → <learner> and switch to the Attendance tab. The row you just marked is at the top.
