Academics

e-Attendance

The e-Attendance system requires students to tap their student ID cards on the card-reading device installed at the entrance to each classroom/lecture hall.

Check Time

Normal attendance: 15 minutes before the start of class to 9 minutes and 59 seconds after the start of class
Late attendance: 10 minutes to 19 minutes and 59 seconds after the start of class
Absence: 20 minutes or more after the start of class

Checking the e-Attendance

Log on to the school website and go to “e-Attendance” on the AIMS2 portal to view the attendance records.

Failure to tap your student ID card due to lack of such card or other unavoidable circumstances

If you do not have your ID card with you, you may enter your student ID number into the device to register your attendance.
If you cannot attend a class due to unavoidable circumstances, report first to the professor/faculty member in charge of the class and wait for their decision.

Failure of the card-reading device/student ID card

Non-functioning IC chip:

If the device fails to detect the card even after repeated tapping, it may indicate a problem with the IC chip in the card. Contact the Ajou Service Center and request a new card.

Unstable connection between the device and the server:

The device may show the message “OFFLINE/Student ID Number/Error Code” when you tap your card. This indicates a temporary disruption of the network connection. Register attendance as usual and go back to the school website later to check the result.

Device problems:

If the unstable connection message (“OFFLINE/Student ID Number/Error Code”) or a message other than the one confirming successful attendance registration appears, inform the professor/lecturer of the problem with the card-reading device and request that your attendance be registered manually. Report the device issue to the officer in charge in the student affairs office and request troubleshooting.
