Virtual ILTs/Webinars: Take attendance during the meeting using either the QR Code (see below) or the sign-in sheet from the LMS, checking off attendees and noting No Shows or unregistered participants. We recommend using either commenting or editing tools in Adobe Acrobat to digitally mark up the sign-in sheet, or exporting it to Excel. Some instructors have had success using DocuSign for the sign-in sheet.
-
Submit a Completed Sign-In Sheet or Roster
Instructors must submit completed sign-in sheets for classroom-based activities to UCRLearning@ucr.edu in order for learner attendance to be reflected in the UC Learning Center. We recommend rosters be submitted as soon as possible after the activity has ended.
If a roster is not received within five years of the class end date, any outstanding registrations may be canceled.

Use QR Codes for Attendance
UCLC Instructor Tutorial: Using QR Codes for Attendance
Enabled for activities such as Classes, Sessions, and individual ILT Classes (no sessions). Instructors may display or print a QR code to allow participants to record their own attendance on the activity roster, via the SumTotal Mobile app on a mobile device. If the QR Code is not used, the traditional sign-in sheet/roster must be used and submitted instead (either physically or virtually signed).
- Attendees must have the SumTotal Mobile app loaded on their device before they will be able to use a QR Code to update their attendance.
- Attendees must be pre-registered in the UCLC for any activity with a registration deadline or cost. Activities with fees require registration through a web browser.
- Be Prepared for Attendees Without Mobile Devices, Last-Minute Attendees, or Technical Issues: you will need an alternative method for recording attendance for those who do not have access to smartphones, tablets, or the SumTotal Mobile app, have technical difficulties, or were not registered in advance if there was a registration deadline or fee. Submit a traditional roster to ucrlearning@ucr.edu for those who were unable to use the mobile app.
View and display an attendance QR code
- Navigate to the roster from your Instructor Schedule.
- At the top-left of the roster under the activity code, select View Attendance QR Code. The attendance QR code page lists the QR code along with the activity’s start date, end date, and the code’s active time frame (generally from the start time to one hour after the end time).
- Display the QR code where the attendees can clearly see and scan it to record their attendance. If the QR code has a section above it that says “You can scan this QR code to mark your attendance any time between: [time frame]” this means the code is only active during the specified times.
TIP: Prior to the class, consider sending instructions to attendees for using the SumTotal Mobile app from the Leaner Guide.
No Shows: When QR Codes are used for attendance, any outstanding registrations will be marked as No Shows by system administrators unless we hear from you.
