MANAGE YOUR ATTENDANCE IN THE GG COURSES
https://economia.uniroma2.it/ba/globalgovernance/dida/courses
Regular attendance – and the related engaged participation – is a very relevant ingredient of the Global Governance programme. We have seen a clear positive correlation between attendance in class and pay-off of your university investment in terms of final GPA and date of graduation (and therefore of future opportunities).
In order to be considered as an attending student you should reach a target level of actual presence in each course of 75%. If for any reason (other engagements, health issues, severe personal/family issue or an overlapping class) you are not able to reach the 75% threshold, you will be considered as a non-attending student. Manage therefore your time properly and try to stay above the 75% target, in case some unexpected event that requires your full attention outside of the University happens.
Please be aware that while we are strongly inviting you to attend regularly, non-attending students are not discriminated, and they can in any case reach the maximum grade, if their performance is very good, with an analogous level of overall effort than the one of attending students!
In order to manage your attendance, you will find here below how you can register your attendance for the classes.
HOW TO REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE FOR THE CLASS
https://economia.uniroma2.it/ba/globalgovernance/dida/courses
Your attendance in classes will be tracked through your registration at our website at the courses page
https://economia.uniroma2.it/ba/globalgovernance/dida/courses
Starting from 15 minutes before the official start of the class till 15 minutes after the official start of the class (as from your timetable), you will be able to register your attendance selecting the course you are attending from “My courses”.
If you forget/fail to register on time, your will be considered as absent even if you are physically present in class.
- Login to the DIDA webpage: https://economia.uniroma2.it/ba/globalgovernance/dida/courses
- A pop-up reminder message will appear, reminding you to register your presence.
- Accept the GDPR data processing by flagging it (as shown below), you have to click the button of attendance as presented here below:

- Add your enrolment number and your password to confirm your attendance. You will be able to access the system both using a PC or a smartphone.
- Shortly after the registration, you will receive a mail confirming your declaration of attendance such as the one below:

In order to track your overall attendance in a course, you can access the Student Portal as reported in the last sentence of the screenshot above. There you will be able to check all your attendance in the course, as reported here below:
After the time window for the registration will have expired, the professor and the secretariat will receive a mail with a list of all students who self-registered themselves as attending and at that point they might check at any time your actual presence in class.
In case you need to leave before the end of the class for any reason, you will have to send the secretariat a mail before you leave stating that “I’m leaving class y”. In this case, your attendance will not be counted as valid for that class but in case of a check is carried out you will not be considered as “cheating”.
We trust that all of you will behave correctly, however we will check randomly whether those who have declared their attendance are not actually in the classroom or did leave without sending us an e-mail. These random checks will take place between 15 minutes after the start of the class and 5 minutes before the end of the class.
In case anyone is found to have claimed attendance while not being in the classroom for any reason, we will consider such a behaviour a very severe infringement of our trust-based relationship. The first time this happens he/she will have six-hour attendance cancelled in that course (two hours immediately and the remaining four hours at the end of the semester).
Should a second time happen, his/her attendance will be cancelled for the whole semester on all the courses, and, a result, he/she will be considered as “non-attending” student in all his/her exams of that semester.
It is better to be considered absent once or twice, than lose all your attendance. So please don’t cheat and don’t force us to take severe measures.
A few additional points:
- there is a 30 minutes time window around the “official” start of the class, so do not forget to start the attendance procedure early on. Don’t wait till the very last, as from time to time there can be small issues with the browser or the connection. If for any reason you forget to register and you don’t manage to register in the required time slot, you will be considered as absent for that specific class even if you will take eventually that class.
- Register only when you are in the classroom, don’t do it on your way to the University as you might not manage to arrive on time. Registering before you have arrived in class usually leads to stress, unacceptable risks of driving fast for which you only bear responsibility and sanctions during an inspection, so don’t ever do it! Much better to be late once and lose one attendance than losing more and building unnecessary stress.
- Please be aware that, if the class is starting at 11:00 and the professor, for any reason should be in late (let’s say, the professor happens to start at 11:30) in any case the time window for the registration still goes from 10:45 till 11:15, even in the case that at 11:15 the class has not started yet.
- Please be aware that no justification will be accepted for having forgotten and having been unable to register your attendance, unless there is a severe technical issue preventing the whole class to register!
