Once students mark their attendance, you will be able to view the attendance list, where will be 3 outcomes:
  - Location verified (this means that the student is in the class)
  - Location not verified (this means that the student isn’t in the class)
  - Student checkbox isn’t checked (this means that the student didn’t mark his/her attendance)![](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-1639641679441.png)  
Note: You have the privilege to check/uncheck the student attendance checkbox.
7. You can click on **Close Attendance** to save the attendance without submitting it. Clicking this button allows you to re-initiate the physical attendance at a later stage during the class to allow more students to confirm their physical attendance. However, once all students confirm their attendance, you should click on **Submit List** to submit the attendance list and post it on Banner.![](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/Close%20Attendance%20Submit%20List.jpg)
