How Attendance Works
  1. Admin creates an attendance sheet and adds students
  2. Students get auto-generated QR codes with their matric number
  3. Lecturer opens the scanner and scans the student's QR code
  4. The student's photo appears for identity verification
  5. Lecturer confirms — attendance is recorded
QR Code Regeneration

If your QR code is blurry, damaged, or not scanning properly, you can regenerate it:

  1. Log in as a student
  2. Go to My QR in the sidebar
  3. Click the Regenerate QR button
  4. Confirm — a fresh QR code will be generated instantly
The old QR code stops working after regeneration. You can regenerate as many times as needed.
QR Code Technology

This system uses the free goQR.me API (qrserver.com) for QR code generation — a reliable, industry-standard service with no API keys, no rate limits, and no registration required. As a fallback, a built-in GD-based QR generator ensures offline functionality. Both methods are completely free and produce high-quality, scannable QR codes.
