Automated Information Systems has played a major role in the growth, advancement, and modernization of our daily work processes. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a safe and secure web based attendance monitoring system using Biometrics and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology based on multi-tier architecture, for both computers and smartphones. The system can maintain the attendance records of both students and teachers/staff members of an institution. The system can also detect the current location of the students, faculties, and other staff members anywhere within the domain of institution campus. With the help of android application one can receive live feeds of various campus activities, keep updated with the current topics in his/her enrolled courses as well as track his/her friends on a real time basis. An automated SMS service is facilitated in the system, which sends an SMS automatically to the parents in order to notify that their ward has successfully reached the college. Parents as well as student will be notified via e-mail, if the student is lagging behind in attendance. There is a functionality of automatic attendance performance graph in the system, which gives an idea of the student's consistency in attendance throughout the semester.
