The university requires that all teachers (both full- and part-time) enter attendance records through Unipa.
Attendance needs to be completed on UNIPA at least once every two weeks.
This page is a quick primer on how to do just that.
There are two ways to navigate to the attendance page for each class.
One way is to…
go to the Class Profile for a class
Then select Attendance Management
The other way is to…
Log into Unipa and select the "Class" option in the menu bar.
Select "Attendance management".
Select the class you need to take attendance for.
From below, the two methods are identical
Select the date of the class.
Click "Register attendance per day".
You will see a list of students' names. (This example only shows the one sample student).
Choose the correct attendance status (Attended, Leave early, etc.)
Please note that for "Absence" and "Official absence," you will need to specify a "reason" for absence (see below for details.)
It is also possible to change the status for all the students at once with the following steps.
Click on the box at the top left to select all students.
Choose the status you would like to mark for all checked students.
Click on the "Change in one bunch" (一括変更) option.
If a student does not have an official absence form, they are considered "Absent". These are the options you have in this category.
Absence (欠席) options
病欠 - absence due to illness
実習 - practical training
大会 - tournament (NOTE: If the student has an official absence form, do NOT use this option. That is considered an official absence (see below).)
就職活動 - job hunting activities
その他 - other
無断欠席 - unexcused absence/no reason given
If a student has an official absence form, they are considered "Officially absent". These are the options you have in this category. (If you are unsure what an official absence form looks like, click here to see an example.
Official absence (公欠) options
忌引 - mourning
感染症 - infectious disease
罹災 - natural disaster
交通機関の運休・遅延 - public transportation cancellation or delay
裁判員の任務 - jury duty
公式行事の参加 - attending an official function
インターンシップの参加 - internship

実習等の参加 - practical training, etc.
実習等の参加・補完済み - practical training, etc. (with supplemental course work)
After you have entered the attedance for all students, don't forget to click on the "Confirm" button. After clicking the "confirm" button, a pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm the registration of the attendance. Click "OK" in the pop-up window and you are finished.
