Why do we scan your AIUB ID barcode?
We scan the barcode on your AIUB ID card only to verify your unique student identity and ensure that non-AIUB students are not accessing university-related information on our platform.
Important: Scanning your ID barcode does NOT save any sensitive information.
What the barcode contains:
- Your Student ID (e.g., XX-XXXXX-X)
- NOT your portal information
- NOT your CGPA or grades
- NOT your personal details
Why we do this:
- To verify you are an AIUB student
- To prevent unauthorized access
- To maintain community trust
