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

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
When logging into the app please ensure that you are using your username and password to log in. Although your standard username is not normally shown on your Campus Card it is easy to work out. You just need to change the 1st number of your Student ID to a "c" e.g. 11234567 becomes c1234567
Your password is the one that you use to log in to MyBeckett or a student PC. If you are a new student and still unable to log in, please try logging into MyBeckett first, as you may need to set a new password.
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.
If you have followed the steps outlined above in the section above called 'Helping you log in' and you are still having difficulty, then you may require a password reset.
Speak to staff on the Student Hub if you’re having any problems. You can also email us at CampusM@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
