Below are ways instructors can add or edit class meetings in the eCampus attendance tool. View the eCampus Attendance page for more information about setting up attendance tracking in eCampus.
Edit a Meeting
Select the date column header to open the menu and select Edit meeting. The pop-up calendar allows date selection. All meetings are chronologically organized when instructors close and reopen the Attendance page.
Instructors can choose a meeting date in the future. If they have one or more meetings in the future, the Meeting view still opens to the most recent Today meeting.
Add Or Delete a Meeting
In the Overall view, instructors can add a meeting if their class met outside of the established course schedule. They can also delete a meeting if they cancel class.
Add a Meeting
In the Overall view, instructors can add more than one meeting for attendance on a day. For example, if the class met for a field trip after a regularly scheduled class, the instructor could add a meeting and mark who was present. Select the plus icon next to an existing meeting's date to add a new meeting.
Delete a Meeting
Instructors can delete a meeting in either view, but at least one meeting must remain. They can't have an empty Attendance page. If they have only one meeting and they delete it, a new Today meeting replaces it.
Students' overall attendance grades are updated to not include the deleted meeting.
In the Meeting view, select the date column header to open the menu and select Delete meeting.
In the Overall view, select a date column header to open the menu and select Delete meeting.
Exempt a Meeting
In the Meeting or Overall view, instructors can exempt a meeting that no longer requires an attendance grade. Students' overall attendance grades update to not include the exempted meeting, even if they have marked some or all student cells. The instructor can also clear the exemption in both views.
When instructors exempt a meeting, that meeting's column header menu no longer contains options to mark all students present or absent. Also, the menu option Exempt meeting changes to Clear exemption.
Exempt meeting columns appear gray, and all grid cell menus are disabled. A null or empty value (--) appears for all students without a mark. If the instructor marked students with a status, those statuses remain but are read-only and they can't change them.
On smaller devices, instructors can only view attendance in the Meeting view. When instructors exempt a meeting, the status options are disabled until the instructor clears the exemption.
