A Smarter Way to Track Student Attendance
Manual roll calls take time. Separate files make records harder to review. Limited visibility can leave repeated absences unnoticed. AtKlass brings attendance collection, monitoring and reporting into one workflow, so staff can move from recording attendance to understanding it.
How AtKlass Tracks Student Attendance
Collect attendance for each class session, then review the resulting student attendance records.
Attendance Collection
AtKlass supports Beacon, IP verification and GPS attendance collection without a student check-in action. Students can also enter a code provided by their instructor, or the instructor can record attendance manually.

Attendance Records
Review each student’s attendance record, including the recorded time and collection method. The examples below show Beacon, instructor entry and Code in the same class list.
Start with your student list: upload it or import from Blackboard or D2L. AtKlass also supports single sign-on (SSO).
Monitor Attendance with Reports & Insights
Use attendance monitoring and attendance reporting to review individual student history, class and course attendance, and institution-level reports. Start with a student’s record, then look at the wider attendance pattern.
Class & Course Attendance
See average attendance and the student count for the term, then review attendance for each class from the instructor dashboard. Class cards keep course codes, schedules and attendance summaries together. Institution-level reporting provides a broader view beyond this instructor dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is student attendance software?
Student attendance software records and organizes attendance information so staff can review attendance history, missed classes and reports. AtKlass brings these tools together for colleges and universities, helping instructors and administrators move from collecting attendance to monitoring it.
How does student attendance tracking work?
Attendance tracking links a student’s attendance to a class session. AtKlass supports Beacon, IP verification and GPS collection without a student check-in action, code entry by students, and manual instructor entry. The resulting records are available for attendance history and reporting.
How can universities monitor student attendance?
Universities can use AtKlass to review individual attendance history, class attendance and institution-level reports. Student records show attended and missed classes, while class views and attendance trends give staff context for reviewing repeated absences and deciding where to look more closely.
Can attendance software generate attendance reports?
Yes. AtKlass provides attendance reports for individual students, classes and the institution as a whole. These reports help instructors and administrators review recorded attendance and missed classes, with information they can use for routine monitoring and academic follow-up.
How can attendance data support student success?
Attendance data can highlight repeated absences and give staff useful context before contacting a student. Reviewing attendance history can help instructors start an informed conversation about participation and support needs. The information supports staff judgment and follow-up; attendance alone does not explain a student’s circumstances.
