Using the system involves a few simple steps, which you’ll find outlined below.
You can also find everything you need to know about SEAtS on the Student Support site.
How to use SEAtS
SEAtS is a useful tool that helps you manage your attendance and stay on top of your academic schedule. As a student, logging into SEAtS for the first time is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps.
Here's how to get started:
Download the SEAtS App on your smartphone.
It's available on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, so whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device, you can easily access it.
Search for "SEAtS Mobile" in your app store, download, and install the app.
If you don’t have access to a working smartphone, you can access a web-based version from a laptop or desktop computer.
You’ll only be able to log on to SEAtS once you’ve completed registration and signed up for your University IT account. Once the app is installed, open it and log in using your University email address and password.
It's important to note that you must use your official University email for this initial login. This ensures that your account is correctly linked to your student profile and schedule.
After logging in, you'll be directed to the home screen of the SEAtS app. Here, you'll see a list of your upcoming teaching events. Select the relevant event to check into from the list, and you'll be prompted to confirm your attendance. You can do this by either scanning the QR code displayed in your classroom or entering the PIN code provided by the teaching colleague leading your session. This step is essential for tracking your attendance accurately.
Following your first login, accessing SEAtS becomes even easier. You can simply open the app, choose the teaching event you’re attending, and scan the QR code or enter the PIN code, just like before. The app remembers your login details, so you won't need to re-enter your email each time you use it.
