What is my Attendance?

Attendance is the percentage of classes you actually attend. Attendance is obtained by scanning your student card each lesson. Your attendance is available online via ISIS in your student account. Attendance data is updated daily. It is based on the number of attended scans for each class, not the number of days in a term.

How do I get a Student Card?

You bring a passport size photo to student services, and on the back you write your name, date of birth and your student number (if you know it). Then you can pick up the card the following morning before class. This card must be with you at all times whilst in the college.

What happens if I am sick?

You must contact Student Services if you are absent for more than 1 day and let them know you are sick. You should see a doctor and get a medical certificate. Within two weeks of returning to college after your illness, you should take your doctor’s certificate to Student Services so they can enter the dates into your account. You must keep the original doctor’s certificate to show DIMIA if they ask for it.
