• The ‘Swipe Log’ screen lists every swipe you have made at a reader in the date range you have selected, and shows if the swipe matched (green tick) or did not match (red cross) the classes on your timetable.
• It is important to understand that only those swipes which are shown as matched (green tick) are counted in the overall module % figures shown on the ‘my attendance’ screen.
  
  

  Please see the list of reasons a swipe could be recorded as ‘not matched’:

  • You swiped into the wrong room

  You must swipe into the room that is shown on your timetable for a swipe to be matched. If your lecturer makes you move rooms, it is important that he/she let’s the timetabling team know so they can amend your timetable. If the change of room isn’t recorded on your timetable your swipe will not be counted and the system will think you have been absent from your class – your % attendance will go down because the system thinks you did not attend the class shown on your timetable.

  • You swiped into the correct room but you swiped in too early

  If you swipe into your class more than 15 minutes before the class starts the swipe will not be matched to your timetable as the readers only switch over to record swipes 15 minutes before the class starts. If you swipe too early the system will not match your swipe and will mark you as absent from the class, your % attendance will be affected. It is important to swipe at the correct time.

  • You went to a different session to the one shown on your timetable

  If you attend a different class to the one that is shown on your timetable (i.e. join another group because you can’t make your scheduled session that week) the system will record your swipe but it will not match it to the class that is on your timetable.   You will be recorded as absent from class that is on your timetable and your attendance % will go down.

• From the main MENU select ‘Change Language’ and the following screen will appear:
