Checking Your Attendance Grade
Follow these steps to check your attendance grade in Blackboard Ultra:
- Log in to Blackboard Ultra at bb.siue.edu.
- Navigate to the desired course.
- In the Course Content area, click on the "View your attendance" link. This can be found under "Details & Actions" in the left navigation panel.
