Student Check In

Your timetable

Your timetable is available in the MyWLV app, under the Calendar button.

Your timetable will indicate whether your teaching sessions will be in-person or delivered online. If it's an in-person class, there will be a room number provided. If it is a scheduled online lecture, there will be a link to a live interactive session.

When you attend any scheduled teaching activities, online and on campus, you'll need to use Student Check In to register, using the MyWLV app or by visiting myattendance.wlv.ac.uk.

Once you've accessed Student Check In, you'll see a list of your upcoming teaching activities. At the beginning of the session, you should find the correct activity and select 'Present'. You'll then be asked to enter a six-digit code which will be provided by your session leader. Select Yes to confirm your attendance.

To get the most out of your studies, you'll need to attend and engage in all your classes and activities, but we understand that occasionally this may not be possible. If you have to miss a class through illness or other unforeseen circumstances, the University is here to support you. You can report an absence using Student Check In, by following the steps in the link below.
