QR Codes on University Campuses: Wayfinding, Course Material, and Student ID

1. Campus Wayfinding

QR codes on campus maps and building entrances link to an interactive map pre-centred on the scanned location. Students and visitors navigate to their destination with one scan.

2. Course Material Links

QR codes in lecture theatres and on printed syllabi link to the current module's reading list, lecture slides, and assignment portal. One code per module, updated each semester.

3. Student ID and Services

Student ID QR codes authenticate at the library, recreation centre, cafeteria, and event access. Use an opaque token with the campus identity system, not a student number in plain text.

4. Information Boards

Campus events, job boards, and club notices carry QR codes instead of tearaway tabs. Scan the code to add the event to a calendar or submit an application.

5. IT and Support

QR codes near IT equipment link to the service desk ticket form pre-filled with the room and equipment number. Fast fault reporting reduces equipment downtime.
