Frequently Asked Questions

Can we integrate event data with our student information system?

Yes. The platform integrates with student information systems like Banner, PeopleSoft, and Workday to sync student data, verify enrollment status, and update attendance records automatically.

How do we manage events across multiple departments?

Set up department-specific portals where individual schools or programs manage their own events independently. Administrators maintain visibility and approval rights across all institutional events from a central dashboard.

Can students use their campus ID cards for event check-in?

Yes. The system reads student ID card barcodes or magnetic strips at event entry, automatically logging attendance and verifying student status without issuing separate event credentials.

How do we track mandatory attendance for required student programming?

Configure attendance requirements during registration setup. Scan student IDs at entry to log participation, then generate compliance reports showing which students completed requirements and which need follow-up.

Can we manage both virtual and in-person attendance?

Yes. Set up registration with attendance format options. Virtual attendees receive webinar links while in-person attendees get campus maps, parking permits, and building access information.

How do alumni register guests for reunion events?

Alumni registration forms include guest fields where they can add spouses, partners, or family members with separate meal selections, tour preferences, and badge information.

Can we process payments for ticketed events?

Yes. Integrate with payment processors to collect fees for galas, conferences, or ticketed events. Set up scholarship accommodations or financial aid options for students who need them.

How do we handle commencement with multiple ceremonies?

Create separate ceremony registration forms for different schools or degree programs. Assign graduates to specific ceremonies and distribute guest tickets with ceremony-specific entry times and seating assignments.
