Attendance Verification Instructions using Self-Service:

Log into EICConnect Click on Self Service.
Click on Faculty.
Click on the course for which you are submitting attendance verification.
Click Grading.
Click Midterm 1.
Check the “Never Attended” box for any students who have not attended - including students who have withdrawn. If all students have attended, move on to the next step.
Click the blue “Midterm Grading Complete” button to finalize verification. Note: The process will not be complete until you click the Midterm Grading Complete button.
Click “Continue.” You should then receive a green “Midterm Grading Complete” message. Repeat this process for any other sections.

Important

if you mark a student as “not attended” but then the student begins to participate later in the term, please remember to go back into Self-Service and uncheck the box for Never Attended and then click the blue Midterm Grading button again. An easy way to remember to do this is to add a Note in the gradebook column beside the student’s name indicating that you have marked them as “Not Attended” (Grades > View > Notes).

Attendance Requirement

The U.S. Government requires institutions that receive Title IX Funding to report attendance. Our online classes are no exception.

The easiest way to fulfill this obligation is to have at least one gradable assignment during Week 1 of your course. We wanted to take this opportunity to share a few items that you can employ to fulfill this obligation.

Suggested First-Week Activities

Please consider adding one or more of the following items to your online class (if you have not already done so). Including one of these assignments will quickly determine who has logged into class during that first week and completed an assignment. It is very important that classes using Third Party Software - where most of the work is done outside of Canvas - integrate one or more of the following items:

Post a syllabus quiz that is due at the end of Week 1. This helps assure that students have read the syllabus and have experienced taking a quiz in Canvas.
Ask students to get to know one another during Week 1 via an Introduction Discussion forum. This best practice allows you and your students to get to know one another!
Create a Baseline Assessment Quiz that is due within the first week of class. This will provide insight as to knowledge, experience, and/or expectations your students possess. It also provides an opportunity to take a quiz in Canvas.

We appreciate your assistance in implementing these items so that we can efficiently fulfill this obligation.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions: canvashelp@eicc.edu
