Students request a hall pass from their device or through a classroom device. Teachers approve the request with one click or by selecting a preset option. Once approved, the pass activates with a timer, and administrators can see every active pass on a live dashboard. When the student returns, the pass ends automatically or with a quick check-in action. Everything is logged so schools can review data and identify patterns that may need attention.

DotPass focuses on simplicity, safety, and school-wide usability. It is built with flexible configuration options, powerful analytics, conflict warnings, and an interface designed to reduce teacher workload—not add to it. The platform is also women-owned and built with input from educators who understand the daily realities of school operations. For schools with budget constraints, DotPass offers a full, functional Free tier so no school is left behind.

Yes. DotPass uses modern encryption standards and secure, cloud-based communication to protect student and staff data. Role-based access ensures that only authorized users can view sensitive information. Schools that upgrade to Plus or Premium gain optional Single Sign-On (SSO), which helps further protect accounts and streamlines access across devices..

DotPass supports easy SIS syncing through direct user imports. The system can import student rosters, grades, and class assignments in minutes. For districts using Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, SSO further simplifies user management and reduces the need for manual setup.

In the Premium tier, DotPass introduces a light layer of gamification to build positive habits around hall usage. Students earn points for responsible behavior—such as returning to class on time or having a low number of unnecessary passes—while negative patterns are gently discouraged. Schools can customize point categories and choose whether to offer rewards. The system is intentionally balanced so that it motivates students without encouraging excessive hall traffic.

Yes. DotPass gives schools granular control over who can go where and when. You can create restrictions for certain students, limit pass types during specific times of day, block students from conflicting locations, and receive alerts when two students with known conflicts request passes simultaneously. These settings help staff maintain safety and reduce hallway issues before they start.

Most schools can be fully operational in just a few hours. The interface is intuitive enough that teachers often begin using it within minutes of logging in. DotPass comes with simple onboarding materials and clear step-by-step setup guides so implementation doesn't require additional IT staffing or long training sessions.
