GEGI

GEGI is student attendance software for schools and universities that moves roll call into a mobile workflow. It suits institutions managing classroom and clinical-site attendance that must flow into student records. Its QR and geolocation choices are useful, but custom pricing means the institutional fit and cost need to be established with sales.

Overview

Students can check in by scanning a classroom QR code, confirming their location, or using both methods together. For location-based check-ins, GEGI validates the student against the campus or clinical site attached to the course, making the setup relevant to ordinary classes and site-specific clinical rotations.

The system calculates attendance from check-in and check-out times, including breaks. Faculty receive attendance logs immediately, while dashboards and SIS reporting keep the information connected to wider institutional records. That is a stronger proposition than a standalone sign-in form for schools already organizing student data in an SIS.

Key features

Attendance capture and session control

Instructors can create QR codes for one or multiple class sessions. Clinical rotation settings allow the QR-code lifetime to be adjusted, which gives staff a way to control how long a session credential remains usable. Check-ins can be captured with QR, geolocation, or QR plus geolocation, so institutions can choose between scanning convenience and an additional location check.

Logs, reports and SIS workflow

The Check-Ins Report distinguishes active and completed sessions and shows successful and unsuccessful attempts. Real-time logs synchronize with dashboards, and reporting is built into the SIS. Automatic handling of check-in, check-out and breaks reduces the need to assemble attendance totals manually.

Student app and API

The mobile app lets students check in to classes, view their profile, pay tuition and contact support. GEGI’s API can manage student records, upload documents, record attendance and grades, and request data about attendance, grades, users, roles and permissions. Institutions with integration questions are directed to the customer-care team.

Canvas connection

GEGI can import Canvas assignments as grade components and bring in student grades from Canvas submissions. The integration does not cover letter-grade, GPA-scale or not-graded assignment types, and it does not support fractional point values. Those restrictions matter to schools whose Canvas gradebooks use those formats.

Pricing

GEGI uses paid, custom pricing. The buying process is to contact sales or request a demo; no public plan price, seat allowance, quota, trial period or renewal term is stated. This can suit institutions that need a tailored deployment, but it prevents a straightforward cost comparison before a sales conversation.

Platforms

GEGI supports Android, iOS, web and API access. Compatible desktop browsers are Chrome, Safari for macOS, Firefox and Microsoft Edge, with a recommended minimum resolution of 1024×768. It works across mobile platforms, although desktop browsers are recommended for a better user experience.

Who it's for

GEGI is aimed at schools and universities that need attendance tied to SIS reporting, live faculty oversight and student-record operations. It is particularly suitable where courses span campus classrooms and clinical sites, or where an institution wants QR and location checks in the same system. Teams seeking only a basic, low-cost sign-in tool may find the sales-led purchasing process and broader record-management scope unnecessary.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Flexible verification: QR, geolocation, or both support different classroom and clinical-site procedures.
• Immediate oversight: Real-time logs, dashboards and success or failure reporting help staff monitor sessions as they occur.
• Attendance automation: Check-in, check-out and break times are used to calculate attendance records.
• Institutional integration: SIS reporting, API operations and Canvas imports connect attendance with student and grade workflows.
• Broader student services: The mobile app also provides profiles, tuition payment and support contact functions.

Cons

• Custom pricing only: Buyers cannot assess cost from a published plan or compare per-seat limits in advance.
• Canvas constraints: Letter-grade, GPA-scale, not-graded and fractional-point assignment formats are unsupported.
• Desktop preference: Although mobile platforms are supported, GEGI recommends desktop browsers for the better experience.

Alternatives

For admissions-focused work with a free web plan covering five courses, five scholarships and up to 1,000 applications, choose AdmitCue instead. EduCRM is the better choice when a forever-free web plan for up to 10 students and application, scheduling and payment tracking matters more than GEGI’s attendance controls. Institutions wanting a community-of-practice program for belonging can consider Nearpeer, whose listed institutional plan costs $15,000 a year. Creatrix Campus Admissions, EAB Navigate360, Gecko, Azorus CRM and Cialfo for Universities are other paid options to evaluate for their respective campus-management or admissions needs.

Browse the Student Attendance Software category for attendance-specific alternatives, or Student Recruitment Software for recruitment systems.

Verdict

Choose GEGI when a school or university needs mobile attendance with QR and location verification, live session oversight and SIS-connected records, especially across classroom and clinical settings. Look elsewhere if transparent self-serve pricing, unrestricted Canvas grading formats or a simpler attendance-only workflow is the priority.
