Why OneTap

Go from “was that student here?”
to “Here's the record.”

If your attendance data lives in paper, Canvas, Google Forms, and faculty emails, you're finding out too late for the audit that matters.

Piece it together

Chasing attendance every semester.

Hours every week
Title IV reimbursement risk
  • Paper sign-in sheets that can't be searched
  • Canvas rosters that miss non-LMS students
  • Google Forms that skip the class-by-class record
  • Faculty email threads. 14-day clock missed.
  • Excel spreadsheets that break under IT scrutiny.
  • Staff hours lost every week reconciling systems

Federal audit-ready in 14 weeks. Maybe.

Built for your workflow

The custom report your compliance officer needs.

Available on Custom plan

R2T4 needs different columns than SEVIS. State boards each want their own format. OneTap generates the custom report your workflow needs, filtered by your criteria.

Why Fall 2026 changed

The rules moved. Your evidence layer has to move with them.

34 CFR 668.22

14-day clock

Attendance-taking institutions must document a withdrawal date within 14 days of last attendance. Fall 2026 is your first semester under the new rule.

8 CFR 214.2(f)

21-day rule

DSOs must report F-1 status changes within 21 days. Timestamped attendance is your primary defense during SEVP site visits.

Title IV · State Boards · ABA 304(d)

Sharper audits

Federal Title IV audits are up. State boards for nursing programs enforce hour requirements more aggressively than five years ago.

“I've looked at a few different apps and there's nothing that integrates QR codes, plus location, plus time restrictions. So that's where OneTap has the advantage.”

Yes. Industry-standard encryption. HTTPS-only connections. Encrypted passwords and Google OAuth login. Data stored in US-based data centers (Eastern region). OneTap is a US company headquartered in Dallas, TX. We do not sell your data.

Canvas attendance is tied to LMS enrollment. Students who attend but aren't enrolled in the LMS aren't tracked. Spreadsheets don't produce defensible timestamped evidence.

OneTap generates timestamped, photo-verified attendance records for every check-in. Records stand up during Title IV reviews. The R2T4 filing itself stays with your compliance officer.

No. Those decisions stay with your compliance officer and DSO.

OneTap gives you the evidence. Timestamped attendance data. Last-date-of-attendance records. Exportable in the formats your compliance workflow already uses.

Owning the compliance process gives you defensibility.

Attendance evidence layers:

  • Geolocation restriction: only check-ins from inside the classroom count
  • Device restriction: each student locked to their first-registered device
  • Time window restriction: check-ins only during class
  • Individual QR/barcode passes: each unique to a student
  • Rotating QR codes: refresh on a timer, so screenshots go stale

Yes. Most institutions do.

Common paths: nursing program, law school, ESL program, or honors college pilots for a semester. Free and Basic plans support this ($0 for 20 profiles, $49.99/mo for 250 profiles).

Institution-wide rollouts move to Custom plans with SSO Login.

OneTap is standalone by design. It doesn't replace your SIS, LMS, or gradebook. It runs alongside them.

Import rosters via CSV, Google Sheets, or type them in. Connect via Zapier or REST API when you're ready. No forced integration. No 12-month IT security review before your department can start.
