Take Attendance for Each Timetable Period When There Is a Multi-Period Session

App Settings › Academic Settings › Attendance › Attendance Taking · Updated 2026-07-22

Some sessions are scheduled across more than one consecutive timetable period, for example a lesson that runs for three back-to-back periods, 8:00-9:00, 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00. Normally, the Attendance Taking screen treats such a session as a single block and only one attendance submission is required for the entire duration.
