Reporting Attendance at the 10% / Census Report

For web-centered courses, taking attendance in Self Service is only required through the 10% census date (as attendance is tracked via submission of assignments in Moodle).

For seat-based, web-supported, and hybrid courses, attendance must be tracked for the entire semester. 

Step 1

Log into MySCC (my.southwesterncc.edu) and click on Self Service near the top.

Step 5

Students must participate in your class by the census date (10% point).  You may begin recording entry dates as soon as your class begins.   


For class sections that are fully face to face  or hybrid this means that you will enter P on the day the student first attends class. You will continue to track attendance throughout the entire semester, marking P for Present or A for Absent. 


For online courses, this means that you will enter a P on the day the student submits their first assignment. This can be an activity, a forum post,  or any graded item in Moodle. Logging in does not constitute attendance. You will continue to mark attendance through the census date (including any weekend days). 


For hybrid courses, this means that you will enter a P on the day the student attends class or submits their first assignment. This can be an activity, a forum post,  or any graded item in Moodle. Logging in does not constitute attendance. You will continue to mark attendance through the census date.
