Wall-Mounted Attendance Devices


What's on the Screen

  • Day of the week
  • Current date
  • Current time
  • Module code and start time for the currently scheduled session

There are a number of reasons that the module code may not appear on the screen, in which case it may simply read Attendance Monitoring -- if you know that you're in the right place then tap your card anyway.

How to Register Your Attendance

Normal Operation

Tapping your LJMU card on either of the signal logos on the front of the device will engage the attendance process. Once you tap, the device should display your first initial and surname, along with the module it has recorded you against.


Offline Operation

Should the device display a strange looking collection of letters and numbers, it means that it was unable to communicate with our central systems, but do not worry, your tap has been saved and will be recorded centrally as soon as it can be.


Multi-Module Operation

If your current session covers multiple modules on which you are enrolled, just one of them will be displayed to you, but your attedance will have been recorded against both/all.

Early Entry Operation

Attendance is accepted up to 15 minutes prior to a session's scheduled start time. If there was another session scheduled in before yours then the device will, at this point, still be displaying that module's information -- tap anyway and heed the response similarly to the above.

Not Being Registered

The Nothing Timetabled response means that the timetabling system is not aware of the session that you're attempting to register for; the tap is still held for internal recording, but your attendance has not been registered.


If you haven't got your card

You are reminded that your university card should be carried at all times while on campus, as a matter of security. If you have lost your card, or it has become damaged, please follow the guidance at https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/staff/estate-management/services/id-badges

If you cannot register your attendance due to having forgotten your card, inform the academic leading the session and they may, or may not be willing to enter your details manually at a later date; or you can, up to three times a year, register yourself as having forgotten your card by using My Services.
