Student View of Code Entry

When faculty/administrators have selected Code Entry as an Attendance method for a course session, then students must enter a code for the session to indicate their attendance. The faculty member will display the session check-in screen prior to the session officially starting. An example of the session check-in screen is shown below with the Rolling code button turned Off and the code shown above it.

When the Attendance check-in is available for the session, there are two options a student can use to check in. One way is to enter the code manually on the Attendance screen, and the other way is to scan the QR code on the session check-in screen using a mobile device. Students can choose which way to enter their attendance.

How To

Manually Enter the Code

The student must first navigate to the Attendance screen, select the applicable course in the My Courses section and click Attendance in the left sidebar. When the session check-in becomes available, the Attendance screen for the course session displays "Attendance check-in is currently available" in a yellow box. The student can find the code on the session check-in screen.

  1. On the Attendance screen, enter the code in the Enter Code field.

    Manually enter code in Enter Code field on Attendance screen.

  2. Click the Check in button.

    The student is successfully checked into the course session as shown on the Attendance screen. The applicable status is indicated in the message displayed below the date and time on the left, e.g., "Present". Each status has its own status icon as shown in the Status legend in the All Sessions section.

Note

The student's attendance status displays based on the status timings set for the course session and the time the student checked in. For example, if the "Tardy" status is set at 5 minutes after the session starts, and the student checked in at 5 minutes and 1 second after, then the student's status will be "Tardy".

Scan the QR Code

Students can check into a course session using their mobile device and scan the QR code. The student can find the code on the session check-in screen.

  1. On the course session screen, scan the QR Code below the Rolling code button with your mobile device's camera.

  2. Press the link (e.g., jenzabar.net in the screenshot above) that displays in a yellow oval on your mobile device. The link will be your institution's URL.

  3. When redirected, you may need to log into the JICS Campus Portal and navigate to the Attendance screen to view your checked-in status.
