SELF CHECK-IN
SELF CHECK-IN
When enabled for a section, the self check-in process allows registrants to be marked attended for an eDoctrina section by entering a 4 character code provided by the instructor. This process removes the need for a hard copy sign-in sheet and manual attendance entry, making the attendance process faster and more efficient.

Learners who are present, but not pre-registered have the option to submit a registration request. These requests will be displayed in a queue and can be approved by the instructor.

Using the Self Check-in Feature
Using the Self Check-in Feature
Self Check-in is available 15 minutes prior to a session, during the session, and 1 hour after the session has concluded. The instructor can display the Self Check-in code, the QR code or provide the link for participants to access the course to check-in.
Participants must be logged into eDoctrina on their devices prior to scanning the QR code or accessing the link in order to be taken directly to the Self Check-in page. Those who do not use the code or the link will access the Self Check-in option from the Learner Dashboard.
What happens when a participant does or doesn't use self checks in:
Participants who check-in during the available time frame (15 minutes before through 1 hour after the session) are automatically marked attended.
After 24 hours, participants who did not check-in will be marked absent.
Instructors may manually update attendance for any participant who was present but unable to use self check-in.
Instructors must manually update attendance for specific scenarios such as late arrivals and early departures.
Instructors or Office requesters/approvers must manually process registration requests.

If the code is not available, self check-in may not be enabled for the section OR you are trying to access before the check-in window has opened.
Approving Registration Requests
Approving Registration Requests
After a participant who was not pre-registered for a session uses the Class Code to request registration, the Instructor will need to approve the request. Once the request has been approved, the participant will be added to the Roster and marked attended for the session.

REGISTRATION Status
REGISTRATION Status
Registration Status is the field that indicates whether or not a learner has completed a course. Only "completed" courses will appear on a learner's transcript. When a course is created, the Registration Status can be set to update automatically when specific criteria (attendance, score and/or survey completion) is met. In some cases, registration status must be updated manually.
Courses set to Auto Mark Complete, Registration Status will be automatically update 24 hours after the completion criteria has been met. In most cases, this is based on attendance.
If a course is not set up for Auto Completion, Registration Status must be manually updated by the instructor or Course Requester/Approver. This should be complete within 24 hours of taking the final attendance or entering scores.
If you are not sure what status is set for your course, check with Course Requester/Approver from the sponsoring office.
