Generate Attendance Reports by Course

Overview

The Attendance Report by Course displays attendance records for students enrolled in a selected course section during a selected month. It helps administrators and teachers review class-wise attendance instead of grade-level or school-wide attendance.

Use this report when you need to check attendance for a specific course, section, or class group.

Unlike the Student Monthly Attendance Register, which shows attendance for all students in a grade, this report focuses only on students connected to the selected course section.
