General attendance policy
Attendance is mandatory at SolBridge.
Attendance accounts for 20% of the final grade in all courses.
Students who miss more than 1/3 of the classes automatically get an F.
For most courses (of 45 total hours), this is 15 hours of class or 30 attendance blocks.If you want to award participation points to your students, please use a separate category in your grades other than the attendance category.
You can have students check-in themselves using the attendance app, or you can track attendance using any other method you prefer.
If you track attendance outside of the app, you'll need to enter that data into the attendance system by the end of that same day.
Attendance can be tracked in multiple ways
Students checking in themselves through the attendance app. (See the guide below)
Professors directly checking students in using the attendance app. (See the guide below)
Professors using any other system to check attendance and then manually input that data into the attendance system.
For students attending online via Zoom, attendance must be tracked manually. (Suggestions for making this easier are offered below)
Please check / confirm attendance for each class on the same day as the class.
E.g., If your class was on Tuesday, please mark attendance on the website before the end of Tuesday.
If you ask students to check in themselves, please confirm that the attendance is correct and address any issues on that same day.
If no attendance is input on the same day, the system marks all the students as absent and marks the class as "Missed". Correcting this requires a lot of headache and paperwork, not to mention all the questions you'll receive from students.
Specifically, you'll have to fill out the following form (DOCX version; PDF version) and have it signed by both Associate Dean Jung Kwan Kim (office #1113) and Honorary President Jaehoon Bae. (office #1202). (Current as of Spring 2024)
Students with valid reasons for missing a class need to report this to the Academic Affairs team.
To receive an excused absence for a missed class, students need to submit a form and supporting proof of their absence (documents) to the Academic Affairs team. If they decide that the student's reason for being absent is valid, Academic Affairs will modify the attendance record for that student.
At the end of the semester, attendance records are pulled automatically from the attendance website to SAIS for final grade inputs.
Attendance records can only be modified through the attendance website. In SAIS they are viewable only.

Attendance app guide for students
During each orientation, students receive tutorials about how to use the attendance app and should be generally familiar with it. However, if your students are confused about how to use it, please share this guide with them. (Copy this link)
Attendance checking for online students
If a student is attending online, you will need to manually mark them as present on the website.
Signing in through the attendance app only works when students are physically present in the classroom. (The app uses Bluetooth to connect to a beacon in the classroom.)
The attendance website is not linked to Zoom meeting logs or any data from SMART such as progress reports.
The video here shows how you can export the attendees for any Zoom meeting.
It's strongly recommended that you tell students to include their student ID in their Zoom display name to make it easier to identify them.
If you have students' IDs and the number of minutes they were present, you can use a spreadsheet to create a sorted attendance record.
This will make inputting attendance data much easier.
A spreadsheet prepared for this purpose is available here.
