From January 2020 we’re introducing a new way of capturing student attendance data, harnessing low-energy Bluetooth technology that allows students to check in to classes using their mobile device. Phase one involves first-year students from the Schools of Humanities and Life Sciences, as well as any students who participate in first-year modules offered by these Schools.
View our guides for students and academic staff with answers to your questions about Check-in.
Accessing Check-in
Available for IOS and Android, students simply download the SEAtS mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, and log in using their University email address.
Tutors, academic and professional services staff can log in here:
The technology is provided by SEAtS Software, a leading provider of Student Attendance Management software and is used by universities across the UK and wider afield.
Why are we doing this?
There’s strong evidence that attending classes and academic performance are closely linked, and that early intervention when a student’s attendance drops below a certain threshold can provide the help and support needed to keep them on track.
Insight into this type of data will enable our Schools and Student Services to reach out to students earlier than we do at present, making sure that they’re given the right levels of academic and pastoral support and helping them to achieve the best outcomes possible.
