Attendance Verification in New UIS Experience will replace the Canvas Attendance Verification Process beginning in Fall 2024. The new Attendance Verification form will be available to mark students present during the first two weeks of the semester. Once all students have been marked present, the verification process is complete, and no further action is required.

.

1. Log into New UIS

.
This can be accessed in multiple ways:

2. Once Logged in, locate the Widget labeled “New UIS Experience.”
.

.

3. Locate the card labeled Faculty Courses and click on the Attendance Verification link. Make sure to bookmark the card by clicking in the top right corner.

.

.

4. See a list of current courses, click the Take Roll button to take attendance.

.

Note: If your course has multiple sessions, it will appear multiple times. Locate the session with your required dates for Attendance Verification.

.

.

5. The Attendance Verification form displays one week at a time. However, if you want to enter Attendance for a date other than the current date, you must click on the Calendar icon to change the date.

.

.

6. Click in the circle to mark students Present. See reminder in the top right corner to enter hours and minutes.

.

.

Online Asynchronous classes are required to enter hours and minutes in the Student Details panel under ‘Expected’ or ‘Present’ FOR EACH STUDENT. For example, you can enter 01 hr and 01 min. Attendance Verification can be any date and any number of hours and minutes. The specifics don’t matter. You are confirming the student is engaged in the class.

.

With each student marked present, see confirmation in the top right corner that attendance was added successfully. This is in lieu of a save button.

.

Please disregard Absence Notified checkbox and Attendance column with percentages.

.

.

To undo a checkmark, click 2 times. The circle with a checkmark is Present and an empty circle or red circle counts as Absent. The University only requires that each student is marked Present once per course for Attendance Verification purposes.

.

Continue monitoring until all students who are verified are marked present. Automated emails will remind Instructors to begin the Attendance Verification process and monitor students who are not yet verified.
