** Effective Spring 2024 term, PCHS is using CourseKey to track and manage attendance. CourseKey is student driven and uses the latest technology to power student success.
**CourseKey for Faculty and Clinic Shift Supervisors is not available via the mobile app. For best experience use a laptop or desktop computer.
Introduction: CourseKey uses GPS technology to detect the student’s location and confirm they are in the appropriate location before allowing them to check in. This is a very secure and acurate method of capturing attendance for clinic shifts.
Even though students take the action of checking in, monitoring the Attendance List during check in and check out is required to ensure accuracy.
In the event a student is unable to check in (phone is dead, app not working, etc.), the shift supervisor will be responsible for making the manual adjustment in course key.
Expand the topics below for step-by-step instructions.
Signing into Course Key

Viewing Attendance
Viewing courses: To view your courses, select Management, and then Courses.
At this point you're able to see a list of your courses. To access detailed information about a course, click on the name of the course.
Once you select the course, you will see the date and time for each scheduled meeting. If a meeting is in session, it will say “Active”. Click on the session to view attendance details.
Upon doing so, you'll see a list of students in the course and a real-time view of their attendance status.
*Admins: Adjusting Attendance
Making adjustments to attendance can only be done for live classes, or past classes up to (5) days prior.
Step 1: Select the course (covered in the previous section of this article)
** For a prior course, be sure to select “Completed Attendances” from the top left course schedule screen.
Step 2: Once in the session, select the student you want to modify by selecting the check box, and then click “Adjust”
Step 3: At this point you will make the necessary adjustment. If you intend to mark a student absent who is currently checked in, select “Mark Absent”. To mark a student present, select “Adjust Record” and enter the check in and check out time of the clinic shift. Lastly, enter an “Optinal Note” with any necessary information about the adjustment, and click “Save”.
