What QRoll is
QRoll is a web-based attendance system for university classrooms that records check-ins with QR codes and location verification. Session codes can change every 30 seconds, and professors can set an allowed location radius for each course. It supports classroom and online sessions; remote students scan a code displayed on a shared screen. Professors can upload rosters from CSV and export attendance in Excel or CSV format. The system flags students below 75% or 50% attendance, while students can look up their own attendance with a course and student ID without logging in. Professors can add teaching assistants and group course sections for combined views and exports. QRoll is free, but access is invite-only and a request does not guarantee approval. The service may limit supported professors, institutions, classes, users, sessions, or attendance records. It does not guarantee security or that location checks and anti-sharing features will always work correctly. It was built by Mayank Chadha, Ph.D. in 2026 while teaching at UC San Diego.
