Registering your attendance is very easy, you simply need to tap into class with your campus card using the readers within the room when you enter.
The reader works by holding your campus card in front of it or by 'tapping' your card against it. A 'thank you' message will show as the reader registers your attendance, you should also hear a 'beep'.
You must swipe into the room allocated on your timetable. If you swipe into another room, this will not match your timetable and you will therefore not receive your attendance mark. If there is a room change, your lecturer must inform the timetabling team and your timetable will then be updated to reflect this.
You must swipe into class within the correct time frame, ten minutes before to ten minutes after the class starts. If you swipe in too early, your swipe will be recorded but not matched to your timetable, you will therefore not receive your mark. Likewise if you swipe in too late, your swipe will be recorded but marked as late.
If you attend class but cannot swipe in at all (e.g you have forgotten your card or have not received it yet) you can always add your attendance manually through our TDS portal. Here you will be able to view your attendance, review any swipe activity as well as submit any absences from class.
If you believe there are issues with your campus card, or if you have not received it yet, please submit an enquiry on Compass.
