Aplus+ for attendance

Attendance in APlus+ is entered for each course in a qualifications intake.

Courses

We can view the courses that are running for a given qualifications intake by first selecting Courses –> Course list from the main drop down menu. Then selecting an intake from the drop down within the grey field.

You will be presented with a table of all courses running under that intake on the campus selected, during the year or time period shown in the top right corner.

If you are unable to see a qualification or intake, check that the correct campus and year is displayed in the top right corner.

Each course will indicate in its course code which intake it's for. The first 4 digits are the year and month, the last character the A or B class.

Clicking on a course from the title column will take you to a tabbed interface with information related directly to that course.
