Attendance monitoring forms a key part of how the University supports its students and manages teaching space around its campus buildings.

There are three main work streams that form part of the Attendance Monitoring process; attendance capture, attendance reporting, and absence reporting.

The Policies (Home, International & Apprentice) can be accessed from the Student Contract page under the relevant academic year.聽 Please click below to access the supporting document for the Student Attendance and Engagement Policies.

For all attendance queries, please contact student support in the first instance.

For attendance monitoring queries that cannot be resolved locally, please contact Attendance@bcu.ac.uk.

If you are an international student, please contact InternationalAttendance@bcu.ac.uk

Registering Your Attendance

Attendance for all students going to classes on campus needs to be recorded on the attendance monitoring system to ensure the University supporting students where required and managing classroom space efficiently.

How the system聽works:

All academic and admin staff who teach students or supervise learning spaces must capture attendance at timetabled sessions. There are two ways to record attendance using the system:聽

1. Students presenting their contactless ID card close to a card reader inside their classroom.聽

2. Using the Presto Academic聽online interface, which requires the member of staff leading the session to check in students.聽

*Students must swipe in 20 minutes before the start or up to 20 minutes before the end of the session to be marked as present*

Online sessions:

Log in to online/MS Teams聽sessions using your 黑料吃瓜网 account so that your attendance can be accurately logged. If you use a personal email this will not be registered.聽

Home

Check-In A is issued for students who have been in attendance but may be falling slightly short of 黑料吃瓜网 expectations. The focus will be to highlight support services available to students and to encourage them to seek advice and support if there are any concerns. Check-In B is issued when a student becomes a serious concern and it not meeting the minimum expectations set out by the university. Warning Notice is issued when a student fails to meet the minimum expectations across two monitoring periods. The expectation is that students will be contacted directly at this notice to help support re-engagement. Withdrawal notice is issued when a student fails to meet the minimum expectations across three monitoring periods.

UKVI and Apprentices

First Attendance Notice will be to remind the students of the 黑料吃瓜网 policy regarding attendance and engagement and to highlight support services available to students and to encourage them to seek advice and support. Final Attendance Notice, the purpose is to give clear details about student expectations around attendance and engagement. The expectation is that students will be contacted directly at this notice to help support re-engagement. Withdrawal Notice will be issued if the student continues to fail to engage or give satisfactory reasons for non-attendance.

PGR

Students doing Postgraduate research, dissertations or placement who are no longer in taught teaching will be monitored via monthly contact points set up in MySRS. For any international students that are absent for their contact point or whose contact point has not been updated will skip the first attendance notice and go straight to final attendance notice. This is due to the timings of the contact points only being monthly. All students have the right to appeal any stages if they believe it has been issued incorrectly, and these can be rescinded if this is the case.
