Attendance at University

The University monitors student attendance in order to deliver timely support to individuals who may be missing classes, recognising that consistent attendance is associated with improved academic performance. Early intervention initiatives are designed to assist students in maintaining satisfactory progress.

In addition, those who are studying at the University on a student visa are required to fulfil minimum attendance obligations. The University is committed to supporting these students in meeting all relevant compliance requirements. 


The University uses the SEAtS (Student Engagement and Academic Timetabling System) software to record and monitor attendance in classes, manage student support, and track academic progress.

Please see links below to download SEAtS on your device.
