Students’ absenteeism in class lectures without being disciplined and sanctioned appropriately in line with university examination edicts has underestimated and relegated the dignity of students’ lectures attendance to the background level. Meanwhile, manual attendance systems that are widely adopted presently in most schools are susceptible to errors, fraud, and ineffectiveness, which ultimately affect the outcomes of students’ performance and invariably downgrading educational system of our nation. Considering all these deficiencies, this paper thus introduced the development of an Automated and Biometric Students’ Attendance System (ABSAS) that is made through Visual Basic (VB) using the .NET Framework 4.6 and web database (MySQL). It made use of the fingerprint scanner (DigitalPersonaU.are.U) to make sure that the attendance record is accurate and tamper-free, and only the students who attend the lectures personally can be registered as present. Designed using Visual Studio 2019 IDE, ABSAS is a graphically user-friendly application with a broad set of modules to manage faculties, departments, courses, students, and various types of attendance. The implementation of the system architecture was well defined and executed by utilizing the Entity Relationship (ER) modeling and Unified Machine Language (UML) diagrams. ABSAS requires a certain fingerprint hardware level, and has improved tremendously on accuracy and security of data and administrative efficiency in students’ attendance management.
