Students experiencing difficulty with their studies don't often identify themselves as students in need of support. The Science Student Success Centre at Carleton University actively seeks out these science students to give them the help they require. One indicator of need is a student's grades. Another indicator is attendance in class. In this paper, we describe how we use beacon technology to help track attendance. While our existing online card swiping and QR Code scanning attendance tracking system was suitable for smaller class sizes, our beacon-based attendance tracking system is now suitable for classes and events with over 1000 attendees.
