Implementation Guide

Step 1: Find the Friction Points

Look at where students stand in physical lines or send the most support emails. Financial aid check-ins, class drop-add desks, and counselor offices are great starting points. Map these offline journeys to digital links.

  • • Identify high-traffic admin desks
  • • Track where manual paperwork slows down the queue
  • • Target high-demand campus facilities
  • • Map paper forms to online Jotforms or Typeforms

Step 2: Generate and Brand the Codes

Create high-resolution QR codes that match your university's brand guidelines. Use your institution's colors and add your crest or logo as a central anchor. Ensure you use dynamic codes so you can change the target URL when your software updates.

  • • Generate dynamic URLs for future-proof links
  • • Customize with university colors and logos
  • • Configure secure access for internal systems
  • • Test scans on both iOS and Android cameras

Step 3: Deploy and Track

Print your codes on campus signage, banners, and orientation packets. Connect the backend to your current ticketing systems or Student Information System (SIS) like Banner or Workday. Monitor your scan rates to see which services need more physical promotion.

  • • Place codes on orientation packets and dorm doors
  • • Sync scans with Banner, Workday, or Salesforce
  • • Monitor real-time scan metrics by campus location
  • • Adjust destination links based on user feedback
