Taking attendance on campus (roll call)

Take the roll call for an in-person class from your phone: Campus classes, the batch, Roll call, All present, then tap the absentees. Marks save as you tap, wait safely when the signal drops, and lock 7 days after the class.

For an in-person class you take the roll call yourself, in class. Campus classes in your teacher portal lists the campus batches you teach or the campus gave you access to; the roll call is made for a phone.

Taking the roll call

  1. Step 1: Open Campus classes and the batch

    Sign in to open this screen
  2. Step 2: Choose Roll call on today's class

    Classes still to come say Opens on the day; cancelled classes have no register.

  3. Step 3: Tap All present

    Everyone not yet marked becomes Present.

  4. Step 4: Tap Absent for the absentees

    Use More for Late, Excused or Left early. Search by name or student code in a big class.

  5. Step 5: Check the header

    It shows present, absent and still to mark, and All saved once every tap has reached the portal.

When the signal drops

  • Keep marking. Taps that could not be sent wait on your phone and the header says waiting · offline.
  • They are sent again by themselves when the connection returns, and the next time you open the same roll call.
  • Don't clear the browser's site data before the header says All saved, or the waiting marks are lost.

The lock and corrections

  • You can change a register until 7 days after the class day. After that it is read-only for you and says Register locked.
  • The campus can correct any mark, or reopen the register for you for 3 days (Unlock for teacher in its portal).
  • The clock icon at the top shows the edit history: every change, who made it and when.

Finishing the batch

When every class is held or cancelled and every register is taken, Mark batch as completed on the batch page sends the batch to NSDP (you need the campus's Mark batch complete access, or to be the course's instructor). NSDP approves it and the certificates go to the students who earned them.
