Create Attendance Register

Attendance registers let you track attendance for course activities such as chat sessions, seminars, or meetings. When setting them up, you can determine sessions, set expectations, assign users, and record attendance as each session is completed. 

To create an attendance register, follow these steps:

1. From the BigSky homepage, click on the course where you want to create attendance registers.
2. On the navigation bar, click User > Attendance.
3. On the Attendance Registers page, click New Register.
4. Enter a name for your register. You may also add a description.
5. Under the Attendance Scheme, choose Benilde Attendance Scheme.
6. Enter a percentage in the Cause of Concern field. This sets the attendance level that will trigger a concern flag if a student falls below it. You may refer to the class attendance policies as a guide.
7. Under Sessions, provide the Session Name and Session Description. The name can be the date, and the description can be the title of the session (e.g., First Meeting).
8. Remove extra sessions if not needed.
9. If you need to add more sessions, click Save first.
10. Click Save again to finalize.

You can now use the created attendance register to record your students’ attendance for each session. Create 1 attendance register for the entire course, and list each class meeting or week as a separate session within it. You will be the one to log your students’ attendance; students cannot log their own attendance, but they can view it.
