The Leeds Beckett app provides access to your online learning tools along with information and functionality to support all areas of student life from health and wellbeing to social events, from transport to food. The app also enables you to automatically sign in to all your lectures and tutorials*.
*Tier 4 students must also sign in via paper register

The app currently offers you:
- Timetables
Access to your timetables directly within the app - Campus Maps
Maps of Headingley Campus, City Campus, Broadcasting Place and the Pavilion with the locations of buildings, sports facilities, food vendors, cash machines and a range of other facilities. There is also a map of Leeds showing the location of all our Halls of Residence and other useful places in the city - Computer availability
Information on how many free desktop PCs are available in our libraries and all of our social learning spaces.*

Helping you log in
It appears that some users are having difficulty logging into the app. Please ensure that you are using your student id and password to log in and the app should accept that. If you are a new student and still unable to log in it may be that your details have not filtered through to the app log in as yet. Please bear with us as we are working on fixing this issue asap.
Questions and Answers
The app will synch with your timetable and so will know which room your are supposed to be in at which time. Each room contains a small beacon that contacts your phone via Bluetooth when you enter the room, checks if you have a timetabled event in that area and - if so - checks you in to your class. There is no need to have the app open or to check-in manually - as long as you have your Bluetooth enabled then the app will work in the background.
All Tier 4 students must collect paper timetables each week and get them signed in their classes. This is how the university collects and monitors data regarding Tier 4 student attendance.
No. The app will only register you if you have an event on your timetable in that room at that time. If you are not timetabled for that period it will ignore you and no record will be kept. Don't worry - it won't monitor how long you have been in the library, the gym or the Students' Union bar!
If you don't have a smart phone or are unable to use the app, or if you forget to bring your phone to class or it is out of charge then don't worry. You can access the “self-serve check-in” via the web on one of the University’s campus-based PCs or indeed your own device, provided you are on campus, within 24 hours of the teaching activity.
It's important that students get the best out of their course and their time at University. Regularly failing to attend lectures or tutorials is an early sign that you may be struggling with some issues that might be impacting your studies. These issues could be academic, financial or wellbeing but whatever the causes we want to be able to help you, so spotting things early will enable us to offer you any support you need to help you successfully continue with your studies.
This monitoring will not form part of any disciplinary process, however there is an attendance policy that all students are obliged to sign-up to as part of their enrolment.
No. Unfortunately the app is only available on Android and iOS at this time. A web version is available that will give you access to the same content which can be viewed through your phone's browser.
There’s a chance, for a small group of students, that your system passwords may be out of sync. You can easily bring them back into line here: Reset your password. Still having trouble? Read the info above called 'Helping you log in'.
Speak to staff on the Student Hub if you’re having any problems. You can also email us at CampusM@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
