Taking Attendance through Canvas

As outlined by the Academic Advising and Registration Office (AARO), faculty must monitor and record attendance during the first two weeks of class. View this video on how to take attendance through Canvas.

Add Attendance to Course Navigation

If the Attendance course navigation link is not visible in your Canvas course:

  1. In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.
  2. Select the Navigation tab.
  3. You will see two lists. The top list displays active course navigation items visible to students. The bottom list displays inactive course navigation items that are hidden from students. Click and drag Attendance from the inactive (bottom) list to the active (top) list.
    • Alternatively, select the three-dot kebab icon next to Attendance, and select + Enable.
  4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
