Student attendance monitoring
Student attendance – SEAtS
Attending your classes regularly is an important part of your studies at GCU. It helps you keep up with your course, take part in learning activities and get support if you need it.
You will need the SEAtS mobile app to record attendance at your timetabled classes, both on campus and online.
This page explains how to use SEAtS, what to do if you can't attend, and where to get help if something isn't working.
Need help with SEAtS?
Don't worry if you occasionally can't check in. If you're in class, let your lecturer know. If there is a problem with your app, timetable or classes, use the SEAtS Help Form or email saem@gcu.ac.uk.

More about SEAtS
When first using the SEAtS app, it may request permission to access location data. However, you do not need to provide access to location services and if you have previously granted access it can be revoked.
No location data is stored either by SEAtS or GCU, but if you have concerns follow these instructions for turning off location service permissions for the SEAtS app
At university, you have an important role to play in your own learning. This means attending and taking part in your classes, engaging with your studies and making use of the support available if you need help.
Regular attendance and engagement will help you get the most from your course, stay connected with your learning and access support when you need it. GCU offers a wide range of academic and personal support, and we encourage you to ask for help if something is affecting your studies.
Attending your scheduled classes is an important part of this. Our Attendance and Engagement Policy explains what we expect from students, how we monitor attendance and the steps we may take if your attendance falls below the expected level.
I am on a Student Visa – is there anything else I need to know?
If you are studying at GCU on a Student Visa, regular attendance and engagement are important conditions of your studies. Continued non-attendance may affect the University’s ability to continue sponsoring your visa and could ultimately result in you having to suspend or withdraw from your studies and leave the UK.
