Recording Student Class Attendance in the Faculty Portal

FXUA faculty is required to keep up-to-date and accurate accounting of student attendance in their classes. It is recommended that attendance is taken at the beginning or at the end of a class session for every class session. Faculty may choose to keep attendance on paper for a variety of reasons, however, that data must be entered in Faculty Portal for each class meeting by the end of the calendar month in which the class meeting was held.
