If you’re looking for a simple way to take first-day attendance, your Canvas course site can help. For FSU’s distance students, attending means making contact with the instructor as specified by the instructor at the start of the term. You can create a password-protected Canvas quiz or survey or use the discussion board to take attendance on your first day of classes:

See First Day Attendance in Canvas for simple, step-by-step instructions.
Then report the non-attendance drops in Campus Solutions.
