Real presence. No buddy-punching.
Students clock in and out with biometric fingerprint verification — the kind of proof state boards and your Accreditor want to see. No badges to lose. No PINs to share. No friend punching in for a no-show.
Every scan is timestamped, geo-aware to the campus, and tied directly to the student record so there's a single source of truth for every hour earned.
- Fingerprint and optional face-verification clock-in
- Tamper-proof audit trail tied to the student record
- Per-campus device management with offline fallback
- Configurable grace periods, breaks, and overtime rules
See the floor in real time.
The instructor dashboard updates the moment a student scans in or out. You always know who's present, who's late, who's at lunch, and who never showed — without walking the room or calling roll.
- Live roster view by class, cohort, or campus
- Late, early-out, and missed-punch flags
- One-tap manual edits with reason codes and audit log
- Hour totals refresh in real time across the system
Compliance accuracy without the spreadsheet.
Clock hours roll up directly into SAP, program pace, and Annual Report submissions. No exports. No reconciliation. The number on the timeclock is the number on the audit report.
- Daily and cumulative hour tracking per program
- Automatic SAP and pace recalculation after every scan
- Configurable program clock-hour requirements
- Audit-ready hour reports with full punch history
Catch the absence before it becomes a problem.

- At-risk attendance escalation to the financial aid team
- Auto-message students with make-up hour options
- Daily digest of attendance exceptions for admin
