GEGI

GEGI is student attendance software for schools and universities. It lets students check in to classes with a classroom QR code, a QR code plus location verification, or geolocation alone. For location check-ins, it validates the student’s position against the campus or clinical site tied to the course. Attendance records are calculated from check-in and check-out times, including breaks, and faculty can view logs that sync to dashboards. Instructors can create QR codes for one or more class sessions and adjust their lifetime in clinical rotation settings. The Check-Ins Report shows completed and active sessions, including successful and unsuccessful sessions. The student app also supports profile viewing, tuition payments, and contacting support. GEGI’s API can manage student records and documents, log attendance and grades, and request related records and permissions. It also supports importing Canvas assignments and grades, with limits on some grading types and fractional points. GEGI is available on Android, iOS, web, and API. Pricing is on request.

GEGI combines multiple attendance check-in methods with session reports and dashboard logs. Schools considering it should account for its on-request pricing and the stated Canvas import limitations.

GEGI suits schools and universities that need to record class attendance through mobile check-in and give faculty access to attendance logs. It may also fit institutions using Canvas, subject to its grading import limits.

GEGI is mobile attendance software for schools and universities, linking student check-ins with faculty records and SIS reporting. It fits institutions running regular classes or clinical placements that need QR and location verification. The strongest case is connected attendance oversight; the main buying hurdle is that every customer must obtain a custom quote.

Overview

Students can check in by scanning a classroom QR code, using geolocation, or combining a QR scan with a location check. GEGI validates geolocation against the campus or clinical site assigned to the course, which gives clinical programs a more relevant control than a generic sign-in form. Attendance is calculated from check-in and check-out times, including breaks, so records reflect session duration rather than a single arrival event.

Attendance data is recorded immediately. Faculty receive real-time logs that synchronize with dashboards, while reporting is built into the SIS. That makes GEGI a better fit for institutions that want attendance to become part of student records and operational reporting, not merely a separate register.

Key features

Flexible check-in controls

Instructors can create QR codes for one or multiple class sessions. In clinical-rotation settings, they can adjust how long a QR code remains valid. The choice of QR, QR plus geolocation, or geolocation alone lets an institution match verification to the setting: a classroom may favor a scan, while a clinical course can require presence at the assigned site.

Records, reports and integrations

The Check-Ins Report displays active and completed sessions, including successful and unsuccessful attempts. That visibility helps staff follow up on failed check-ins instead of treating every missing entry as a simple absence. The mobile app also lets students view their profile, pay tuition and contact support, extending it beyond attendance.

GEGI’s API can manage student records, upload documents, log attendance and grades, and request attendance, grades, users, roles and permissions. Customer-care support is directed to API access questions. Canvas integration can import assignments as grade components and import grades from Canvas submissions, but it does not handle letter-grade, GPA-scale or not-graded assignment types, or fractional point values. Institutions using those Canvas grading formats should confirm that the limitation will not disrupt their workflows.

Pricing

GEGI uses paid, on-request pricing. The landing page directs prospective customers to sales or a demo rather than publishing a price, so the product is aimed at institutions prepared for a quote-based purchase rather than self-serve comparison.

Custom pricing can suit schools and universities whose requirements vary by enrollment, courses, clinical sites or integration scope. It also means smaller institutions cannot judge affordability from a public plan or trial, and there is no stated free tier, seat allowance, quota, renewal term or trial period to use as a budget benchmark.

Platforms

GEGI supports Android, iOS, web and API access. Compatible browsers include Chrome, Safari on macOS, Firefox and Microsoft Edge; a minimum 1024×768 screen resolution is recommended. The service says it works across mobile platforms but recommends desktop browsers for a better user experience, so students can check in on phones while staff may prefer desktop reporting.

Who it's for

GEGI is suited to schools and universities that need attendance tied to SIS dashboards, real-time faculty logs and student records. It is especially relevant to programs combining ordinary classes with clinical rotations, where site validation and adjustable QR-code lifetimes matter. Institutions relying heavily on unsupported Canvas grading types, or buyers seeking transparent self-service pricing, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Three verification modes: QR, geolocation, or both can be matched to classroom and clinical-site requirements.
• Attendance is time-aware: check-in, check-out and break data feed automatic records.
• Operational visibility: real-time logs, dashboards and success/failure reporting give staff a view of active sessions and exceptions.
• Broad institutional API: records, documents, grades, users, roles and permissions can be managed programmatically.

Cons

• Custom pricing only: buyers cannot compare a published plan or free trial before contacting sales.
• Canvas grading limits: letter-grade, GPA-scale, not-graded and fractional-point assignments are not supported for synchronization.
• Desktop is preferred for the best experience: mobile support is broad, but staff-facing work may be more comfortable in a browser.

Verdict

Choose GEGI if your institution needs verifiable classroom or clinical attendance that flows into real-time logs, dashboards and SIS records. Its mix of QR and location checks, time-based calculations and API coverage is the core reason to buy. Look elsewhere if transparent pricing or unrestricted Canvas grade synchronization is essential.
