We@FHSS is the official mobile app of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. Your academic day starts on the home screen. The next lecture is already there, counting down, with the hall and the time beside it. The week ahead sits in the Lecture Schedule, and when your department reschedules or cancels a session, the app tells you right away. A reminder arrives before every lecture, so a change of plans never catches you off guard. Attendance is part of the same flow. Walk into class, hold your phone near the lecturer's device, and you are marked present in seconds. Your attendance record for every course stays available whenever you want to check it. When the faculty releases results, they appear in the app: your GPA and every grade, semester by semester. The Information Hub carries faculty announcements, and the Directory connects you with academic staff across departments, so the faculty stays within reach even when you are away from it. We@FHSS is available to enrolled students and academic staff. Sign in with your Faculty Microsoft account. Timetables, sessions, attendance, shown in the app are administered and published by your department, and accounts are issued and managed by the faculty.
