ehallpass handles different situations. You need to know the difference between a pass for now and a pass for later.
➡️ Now Pass: You use this for immediate needs. You use this for the restroom or water fountain. The timer starts right away.
➡️ Appointment Pass: You use this for future meetings. You schedule this for a counselor visit or a music lesson.
➡️ Proxy Pass: A teacher creates this for you. The teacher starts the pass on their device. You do not need to do anything.
Schools set rules to keep halls empty. You might face restrictions. The system blocks requests when you hit these limits.
➡️ Pass Limits: You get a set number of passes per day. The system denies new requests if you use them all.
➡️ Active Pass Limit: Only a few students can leave a room at once. You must wait if too many people are out.
➡️ No-Contact Lists: The system stops certain students from having passes at the same time. This prevents friends from meeting in the hall.
➡️ Restricted Locations: Some bathrooms or areas close at certain times. The menu greys out these options.
The interface shows more than just a button. You see data about your habits.
➡️ Dashboard View: You see your total time out of class. You see how many passes you used today.
➡️ Favorites: You save common locations. This speeds up the process next time.
➡️ Appointment List: You check here to see if a teacher requested to see you.
Technology breaks sometimes. You need a backup plan.
➡️ Internet Down: You ask the teacher manually. The teacher enters the pass later.
➡️ Forgot Device: You ask the teacher to make a Proxy Pass for you.
➡️ Wrong Location: You cannot change a pass after you start it. You end the pass and make a new one.
➡️ Forgot to End Pass: The timer keeps running. The system flags this. An admin or teacher closes the pass for you.
You might think this feels strict. Schools use it for safety. Admins know where everyone is during an emergency. It stops vaping in bathrooms. It keeps hallways quiet. It ensures you stay in class to learn.
Q1: Does ehallpass track my physical location?
No. The app tracks time only. It knows when you left and when you returned. It does not use GPS to see where you walk.
Q2: Can I use ehallpass on my personal phone?
Yes. You can download the app if your school allows it. You log in with your school credentials. Some schools ban phones. You use the school Chromebook in that case.
Q3: What happens if I stay out too long?
The timer turns red or flags your name on the admin dashboard. A security guard or administrator might come to check on you.
Q4: Can a teacher deny my pass request?
Yes. A teacher sees the request pop up. They can click deny if they are teaching something important. You receive a notification that says denied.
Q5: Do my parents see my pass history?
Yes. Many schools open the parent dashboard. Parents see how often you miss class. They see how long you stay in the restroom.
