Do I need to use MySurrey Attendance for every timetabled session?

For most sessions you will need to use MySurrey Attendance to confirm your attendance or mark yourself as absent. You will need the unique one-time access code provided by your tutor at the start of every session. Should you not check-in or state your absence, your history within the app/browser will show that you have not recorded your attendance or absence.

Some timetabled sessions take place in "wet labs", where personal devices aren’t allowed. In these areas, you will be asked to self-check in via a tablet provided by the lab technician before you enter the lab. Alternatively, you will be checked in by the academic or technician via a tablet once you have entered. Your attendance at these sessions will feed into your MSA data.

In a few of the vet "wet labs", paper registration is still being used but eventually tablets will be used in all wet labs. Paper registers are not uploaded onto MSA but are logged separately by the Academic Administration team.

There are also a handful of other sessions such as optional dissertation support sessions that won’t require you to check in. However, for most, you will be asked to check in for every session.
