Student Active Ranges

In the Settings page in the Attendance feature, a Student active ranges tab enables Faculty to modify the start and end dates of the date ranges of all students in their course section. This tab shows a list of students who are either active or withdrawn in the course in a paginated table.

The descriptive paragraphs at the top of the page state: "By default, a student is considered to be active within a course section starting on the date that they are initially added to the course. If the student is later withdrawn, they will be considered active until that withdrawal date. This page allows the active dates for each student to be customized.

Sessions outside of a student's active range will have attendance entry disabled and will ignore the selected default status (if any), for that student. Additionally, these sessions will be excluded from the student's final course grade calculations, on-screen statistics, and any other attendance-based calculations."

Faculty can edit the date fields, and edits are autosaved. When a change is saved, a success pop-up message appears temporarily at the top of the list.
