This research paper analyzes introducing an automated attendance system using biometrics at Laguna Northwestern College. Currently, attendance is taken manually, taking up class time. The researchers hypothesize that an automated system using fingerprint or facial recognition would reduce time spent on attendance and improve monitoring of student attendance. If implemented, key benefits would be increased security, less proxy attendance, and reduced human error. The study scope is limited to analyzing student attendance management. It provides little information on biometric hardware costs and school facility usage.
