Attendance Management for Multi-Campus Groups
Roll up attendance across 3, 30, or 300 campuses into one group dashboard while each campus runs its own daily workflow. Built for school chains, university systems, and academy trusts where the group CFO needs consolidated metrics and the campus head needs local autonomy.
Multi-campus attendance management is attendance tracking architected for educational groups operating multiple campuses under one entity. Each campus runs its own daily attendance workflow, but data rolls up to a group dashboard with consolidated metrics, cross-campus comparisons, and single-database student transfers. openeducat_attendance handles per-campus rules and group reporting in one deployment.

Unified Group Dashboard
Group CFO/COO sees today's attendance across every campus in one view: total students, present, absent, late, attendance rate by campus, and outliers. Drill from group → region → campus → grade → class → student in three clicks. No more campuses emailing weekly Excel reports to head office.
Per-Campus Autonomy
Campus head retains full control of their attendance rules, calendar, holiday list, period schedule, and reporting cycle. London campus can run a 6-period day, Mumbai campus a 7-period day, Dubai campus a 5-period block schedule — all in the same OpenEduCat instance. Group level just aggregates.
Cross-Campus Student Transfers (No Re-Enrollment)
When a family relocates from the Bangalore campus to the Pune campus, the student record (admissions, prior attendance, grades, fee history) transfers in one click. The new campus picks up where the old left off — no re-creating the record, no orphaned attendance history.
Group-Wide Compliance Reports
Single export covers all campuses for board reporting, accreditation (Cognia, IB, Cambridge), and statutory submissions. Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) leaders in the UK get one DfE-format export instead of stitching 12 campus exports together.
Cross-Campus Benchmarking
Identify which campus has the lowest attendance, which grade level dips most, and which interventions correlate with improvement. Group can roll out best practices from the highest-attendance campus to others with data, not anecdote.
Multi-Currency, Multi-Language, Multi-Timezone
International groups (Nord Anglia, GEMS, Cognita, Inspired) run campuses across 5+ countries. Each campus operates in local language, local currency for fee integration, and local timezone for attendance timestamps. Group reports auto-convert to a chosen base currency and standard time.

50+ campuses, each running a different local SIS, group head office reconciles weekly Excel reports manually and metrics arrive 10 days late.
solutionPage.useCasesOutcomeLabel
Single OpenEduCat deployment, every campus on the same platform with local autonomy, group dashboard refreshes every 15 minutes. Head-office data team reassigned from Excel reconciliation to actual analysis.

DfE School Census and attendance returns require 12 separate submissions per campus per term, each manually compiled.
solutionPage.useCasesOutcomeLabel
One unified export covers all academies in MAT, validated against DfE schema before submission. Termly compliance work drops from 3 weeks to 2 days for the central team.

University of California-style systems have 10+ constituent campuses; consolidated enrollment and attendance reports for the chancellor's office take a month to compile.
solutionPage.useCasesOutcomeLabel
Group dashboard live for the chancellor every day. Constituent campuses still run their own SIS workflows but data flows up automatically. Inter-campus transfer of students (cross-registration) becomes one-click.
solutionPage.useCasesChallengeLabel
40-200 campuses across multiple states; each runs local SIS or paper, head office sees attendance only via monthly board pack.
solutionPage.useCasesOutcomeLabel
OpenEduCat deployed group-wide, per-state customizations supported (different state-board exam patterns, different fee structures), group sees daily metrics and can identify struggling campuses in week 2 of term, not month 6.

How does role-based access work across campuses?
Roles are scoped to one or many campuses. A campus principal sees only their own campus. A regional director sees a defined set of campuses. The group CFO sees all campuses but is read-only for operational data and read-write for finance/HR. Cross-campus transfers require both source-campus and destination-campus admin approval, logged immutably for audit. Permission templates ship for common org structures (chain HQ, region, campus).
Can different campuses use different attendance methods (biometric vs. manual)?
Yes. Biometric, RFID, QR, and manual entry are configured per campus. Mumbai campus can run biometric, Manila campus QR, Dubai campus RFID — group reports normalize the data into the same attendance fields. Campus head decides what fits local culture and infrastructure.
How are group-wide policy changes rolled out (e.g. updating attendance threshold)?
Group admin defines a policy (e.g., "75% attendance required for exam eligibility") at group level; it propagates to all campuses by default. Campus admins can override with documented exceptions (e.g., a campus in conflict zones may need a lower threshold), logged for board visibility. This avoids the trap of every campus drifting to slightly different rules.
Does it handle campuses across different countries with different statutory rules?
Yes. Each campus has a country/region setting that drives local rules: UK campuses get DfE attendance codes (authorized/unauthorized/late); US campuses get Average Daily Attendance (ADA) calculations for state funding; Indian campuses get state-board attendance formats; UAE campuses get KHDA reporting. The group reporting layer normalizes for executive view while campus reporting stays statutorily correct.
Is there a per-campus or per-student license cost as we add campuses?
No. OpenEduCat Community Edition has no per-student or per-campus fee. Even Enterprise Edition is priced per concurrent user, not per campus or student, so adding the 30th campus costs only the marginal infrastructure (CPU, RAM, storage). This is a meaningful difference vs. proprietary SIS at $5-$20 per student per year multiplied across a 50-campus, 30,000-student group.
