Check-In for students
What is WU Check-In?
The WU Check-In (checkin.wu.ac.at) is a web application that you can use to report your attendance at selected courses with compulsory attendance, whether online or in class. Lecturers can use different methods to check attendance, whether they use the WU Check-in, they will tell you.
How does WU Check-In work?

After you have logged in to WU Check-In with your WU account login data (student account!), you will see the start page:
An overview of all courses of the current day for which you are registered
In the check-in column, a check-in button, which is active starting 30 minutes before the start of the course
A search field in case a course is not listed in your individual overview

30 minutes before the start of a course, the check-in starts.
Depending on the course format, the following check-in options are offered on the start page:
On campus: On campus check-in
Online: Online check-in
Hybrid: On campus check-in & online check-in

Choose a seat in the auditorium and log in to WU Check-in. Make sure that you use your student account, otherwise you will not get an overview of your courses.
Please click on the "On campus"-button next to the course/exam on the start page

For courses with online units or hybrid mode, attendance can also be recorded via WU Check-in. If this is the case, you have to announce your attendance via the check-in even if you participate online.
Please click on the "Online"-button next to the course/exam on the start page

Deleting a false booking (wrong course/exam) or changes of on-campus/online check-in status are only possible within 5 minutes after check-in. The buttons for making corrections are displayed on the start page after check-in.
The Cancel Check-in button allows you to switch between face-to-face and on-campus check-in or to delete an incorrect booking (wrong course/examination).
You are automatically checked out at the end of the course unit.
