The Internet of Things (IoT) based academic monitoring system is implemented at the Manado State Polytechnic to achieve an Integrity Zone where educational institutions have good governance, are accountable, and are free from corruption. This research aims to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT) based presence monitoring system. The system was developed for lecturers and students to record attendance using a microcontroller and display a QR Code on an Internet of Things (IoT) based OLED screen. Implementing this system aims to increase transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of using lecturer time in teaching. The results are that the presence of lecturers and students can be validated through CCTV camera monitoring to display image data in real-time and table data on web pages. An application developed using Android that can be used by students and lecturers in taking attendance and sending data to the server. The server has two primary purposes: record attendance data and generate attendance reports based on user requests. System testing is carried out in a local network. The research results show that the subsystems and integrated systems work well.
