Chapel & Event Attendance

Many Nigerian universities require attendance at chapel services, orientation sessions, or departmental seminars — events that don't fit neatly into a weekly class timetable but still need a reliable record. Attenova extends the same session-code-plus-GPS check-in used for classes to any event with a physical venue.

An organiser — a lecturer, chaplain, or admin — creates a session for the event, sets the GPS radius for the venue, and shares the code. Students check in exactly as they would for a lecture, and the record shows up in the same attendance history and reporting tools.

Included Features

Session-based check-in for any physical event
Same GPS and face verification as class attendance
Chapel-specific setup and recurring service scheduling

The Challenge

Non-class attendance requirements — chapel, seminars, orientation — are usually tracked separately from academic attendance, if they're tracked at all, using sign-in sheets that are just as easy to fake as any other paper record.

How Attenova solves this

Attenova treats any physical event as a session, the same underlying object used for a lecture. Organisers set the venue's GPS radius and generate a code; students check in in seconds. Recurring events like a weekly chapel service can be scheduled once, and attendance data feeds into the same reports and dashboards used for classes.

Common questions about this feature

It's tracked separately but visible in the same dashboards, so admins and organisers can report on it independently or alongside class attendance.

Any account with the appropriate role — lecturers for their own events, or admins for institution-wide events like chapel — can create a session.

Yes. A session doesn't have to repeat — it can be created once for a single event and closed when it's over.
