Meetings for eCampus Attendance

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 you 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 a Meeting

In the Overall view, you can add more than one meeting for attendance on a single day. For example, if the class met for a field trip after a regularly scheduled class, you 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

You can delete a meeting in either the Overall or Meeting view, but at least one meeting must remain; you can’t have an empty Attendance page. If you only have 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 or Overall view, select the date column header to open the menu and select Delete meeting.

Exempt a Meeting

In the Meeting or Overall view, you can exempt a meeting that no longer requires an attendance grade. Students' overall attendance grades update to not include the exempted meeting, even if you have marked some or all student cells. You can also clear the exemption in both views.

When a meeting is exempted, that meeting's column header menu no longer contains options to mark all students present or absent, and 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 you marked students with a status, those statuses remain but are read-only and you can't change them.

On smaller devices, you can only view attendance in the Meeting view. When you exempt a meeting, the status options are disabled until you clear the exemption.
