I’m a student at Iscte and I have the following question regarding class attendance: Do I swipe my card before or after the lecturer?

Atualizado/Updated: 2026-05-25

PT

Target Audience: Iscte Students

Answer/Solution:

The card swiped by the teacher at the reader outside the classroom only serves to open the classroom door.
The card swiped by the student at the reader inside the classroom is used to record the student’s presence in class.
For class attendance to be correctly recorded, the card must be swiped at the reader from 10 minutes before the start of the lesson until 10 minutes before the end of the lesson, i.e.:
- In a lesson from 8:00 to 9:30, the card must be swiped at the reader from 7:50 to 9:19;
- In a lesson from 9:30 to 11:00, the card must be swiped at the reader from 9:20 to 10:49.

Answer/Solution:

- If you’re working on a file in isolation, save it to OneDrive. Your OneDrive files are private unless you share them with others, which is particularly useful if you haven’t created a team yet.
- If you’re already working in a team – in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Outlook – you should save your files where your team works, because OneDrive for work or school also connects you to all your shared libraries.
