I have a hard time believing some university would spend money on regular badge readers on classroom doors, even more on setup and maintenance of passport scanners. Which university was it? What kind of id were UK citizens using?
Thanks for the update. Wow, I’m impressed. For some reason I thought those were passport scanners or something. Still, digitally registering attendance feels quite fancy compared to my experience in more run down universities (not in the UK).
Anyhow, it’s a bit of a shame that you had to pretend attending lectures for immigration purposes when you were already studying as a researcher

Swansea university in Swansea Wales.
Yep. Every classroom door had them.

Also I don’t think these are too expensive. I’ve worked at a lot of places that had security badge swipes at the doors.
