What is the Kiosk?
Kiosks allow students to check in for appointments, join drop-in services, and track attendance across available services without staff assistance, while also managing queues, recording visits, and automatically resetting after each check-in for the next student.
Launching the Kiosk
From your OnCourse (Navigate) home screen, click “Additional Modes” in the bottom-right corner, select “Kiosk,” and a new window will open while logging you out of your previous session to protect student data.
Setting Up the Kiosk
Choose your location or term from the list provided, then select which services students can check in for—either Choose All Available Services to allow access to everything or select specific services as needed. Once selected, the kiosk will display the student login screen.
Once you choose a Location and a Service, you will be logged out of your account, but we can't close your windows for you. To prevent unauthorized viewing of your account, please close any windows that are still open before proceeding.
Using the Kiosk
Student Check-In Process
Students will either swipe their BuckID or enter their student ID number to log in. After which they will see available services.
If they have a scheduled appointment, a highlighted green prompt will appear for check-in, or if selecting a drop-in, they can choose to meet with a specific staff member or join the queue for the first available staff member depending on location settings.
Once a service is selected, the system confirms their check-in and records the visit.
When a student checks-in or drops-in for an appointment, the staff will receive a red push notification at the top.
How To Check Out
After the student finishes the appointment, they can log back in to the kiosk. They will see the screen below. Clicking the Check Out button will check the student out of the appointment and record the time for the Appointment Summary report. Alternately, the kiosk can check them out after a given period.
If the student decides to leave before the end of the appointment, ONLY staff can check them out by submitting the appointment summary if they started the appointment from the student queue. Be sure to check the time, save your work, and then check the student out. Most check-ins will time out automatically after one to two hours, depending on Care Unit (Advising, Tutoring, Student Success Services) settings.
