Course Attendance Mode

Explanation

An attendance mode is an institution defined classification of the manner in which a student is undertaking a course offering option. These are comparable to Government attendance modes (STAF112C) but provide for greater flexibility by permitting classification at a more detailed level and the use of attendance mode names specific to the institution. Each institution defined attendance mode must be mapped to a Government attendance mode. More than one institution defined attendance mode can be mapped to the same Government attendance mode.

Example

An institution may prefer to use its own names for internal and external students of say On Campus and Off Campus with the codes ON and OFF. These would then be mapped to the Government attendance modes, internal and external. Similarly multi-modal might be known as mixed attendance (MIXED).

Attendance Mode Description Govt Attendance Mode

ON On campus 1

OFF Off campus 2

MIXED Mixed attendance 3

Find the record to be modified.
Modify the record as required.

An attendance mode can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.
