The instructions/screenshots below are for the New Look of Infinite Campus. For directions using the Classic Look of Infinite Campus, use the directions at the bottom of this page.

A teachers name should show on the course information. This shows that the teacher is attached to the course and is able to take attendance, and will have their name show up in the Classroom Monitor. If a teacher’s name is not visible, they must be added as the Primary Teacher on the Staff History Tab for the course section.
Note - The principal should be added as the Primary Teacher for the No Show, Unable to Locate, and Located Not Attending courses so attendance can be taken.
