Tracking Student Externships With Best In Class Software

Written by Dennis Brady | October 16, 2023

“Bueller, Bueller, Bueller…?”

We all remember that epic scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I doubt schools do roll call like that anymore, but colleges and trade schools need a method for tracking student externships.

Do you want to ensure that your students are always at their intern sites when clocking in?

 

Tracking Student Externships the Easy Way

 Tracking time and attendance in class is easy enough, but how do you know if your students are showing up for their clinical externships or internships? Universities, colleges, and trade schools all across the country have discovered the solution to tracking remote student externships and internships with our online time tracking and attendance system. Students use our GPS time clock app or TimeTiles™ to report their attendance and start the time clock. Both methods confirm the students’ locations and ensure that students are clocking in from their intern sites.

No Skipping

Instead of calling roll, pull a report of students who don't show up to their externships. When you track and monitor your student's attendance with our online scheduling system, you can get notified if they don't show up. This is important because students shouldn’t get class credit if they’re singing “Twist and Shout” in the uptown parade. Students can also keep up with their schedules and externship hours with our mobile app.

Life Moves Pretty Fast

And your students move even faster, so you need an online time and attendance system with GPS tracking that can keep up. Let us help track the hours of your student externs and take this task off your board. Sign up for a free 14-day trial today, and it will be the easiest A you ever earned.
