Effective Monday, August 5, 2026, the <\/span>Brightspace Attendance Tool<\/span><\/b><\/a> was enabled for all CUNY courses in Brightspace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Brightspace Attendance Tool allows instructors to record class attendance for their own use.\u00a0 Students cannot see the Attendance Tool unless visibility is specifically enabled by the instructor at the course level.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that attendance taking and use of the tool is at the discretion of the instructor.\u00a0 CUNY remains a non-attendance taking institution for federal purposes.\u00a0 To that end, the tool displays the following disclaimer:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCUNY meets the federal definition of an institution that is not required to take attendance under Title IV regulation 34 CFR 668.22 (b)(3)(i). As a non-attendance-taking institution, the College Registrars do not collect daily attendance records. CUNY does not require professors to take attendance, and any attendance records are taken for the professors’ own purposes.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact us at <\/span>Brightspace@qc.cuny.edu<\/span><\/b><\/a> with questions, concerns, or your thoughts on the process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
