Manage Attendance Settings

The Settings page allows the Instructor to customize how the Attendance tool handles participant's attendance records, grade, and check-in settings.

  • Attendance settings will determine which roles can take attendance.
  • Check-In Settings will determine how a students attendance is marked based on these times.
  • Grade Settings will ONLY appear when the Attendance tool is added within a Canvas Assignment.
