Student Check-In

Student Check-In provides an online system for all students at the University of Wolverhampton to register their attendance at timetabled learning activities. The system is web-based, so it doesn't require special equipment and can be accessed by students using a phone, tablet, laptop or PC in the myWLV app

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

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. The University is here to support you if you have to miss a class through illness or other unforeseen circumstances. You can report an absence using Student Check-In by following the steps below.

For us to best identify students who may benefit from further support, it is important that you only record attendance for sessions you actually attend. The Student Code of Conduct sets out the professional behaviours we expect from our community. Students recording attendance at sessions fraudulently will be subject to disciplinary procedures. If you are experiencing difficulties preventing you from attending your learning activities and are worried about the consequences, please get in touch with ASK@WLV for further support.
