New Term Quick Start
New Term Faculty Quick Start Guide
We’ve put together a Quick Start Guide to give you easy access to some of the technology resources you’ll be using at the beginning of each term. Use the guide below to explore these resources.
Attendance Verification
Attendance verification begins on the first day of classes. A two-question quiz in Folio titled “Georgia Southern Attendance Verification” allows students to automatically confirm their attendance in your classes.
Important Tips:
- Do not make any changes to the quiz. The Attendance Verification quiz will be added as a module in your course. Please DO NOT delete or hide this module.
- Students will receive a news item in each course with a link to the quiz. Please encourage them to complete it.
- You will receive an injection page in your MyGS portal beginning at the start of each term, informing you of students whose verification has not been completed.
- For students who indicate non-attendance in error, you may confirm attendance on their behalf using the Attendance Verification roster in your MyGS portal.
- Students who are marked as not attending through your Attendance Verification Roster will be automatically dropped from the course in Banner.
You can find more information and step-by-step instructions on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
