We get it - it's not easy
Printing costs add up quickly
Constantly printing flyers, event schedules, course handouts, and campus maps consumes budgets and creates paper waste.
Information becomes outdated fast
Event details change, syllabi are revised, and room assignments shift, quickly making printed materials inaccurate or obsolete.
Guiding students & visitors takes time
Staff and faculty spend valuable time manually guiding visitors, explaining processes, or directing students to specific online resources.
There's a simpler way: QR codes
Connect students, staff, faculty, and visitors directly to digital resources, forms, schedules, and maps with a quick smartphone scan.
Link to course materials & resources
Add QR codes to syllabi, posters, or classroom doors linking to online readings, assignments, or LMS pages.
Share event schedules
Post QR codes for campus events linking to a webpage you can update instantly with times, locations, or cancellations.

Offer easy WiFi access
Display QR codes in common areas, libraries, or event venues for visitors or students to quickly join the guest network.

Place QR codes outside department offices linking to faculty directories, program details, office hours, or contact forms.
