Common situations

Will a team code or class link be sent to me separately?

The unit does not separately send team codes or class links to students. The course instructor creates the team code and the required information is announced through OYS and OBS.

The course is in OYS but the Teams team is not visible.

Check the course announcements for a team code or link first. If no information is available, contact the course instructor.

Where should I check the live-class time?

Check your live-class timetable in OBS. OYS course announcements may also contain current course-specific information.

I cannot register for e-Attendance.

Contact the course instructor first. If the issue continues, contact your department’s e-Attendance responsible person or your department.
