What is EHallPass? (Securly Pass Explained)
Quick Answer: What is EHallPass?
eHallPass is an electronic hall pass system made by Securly that lets students request digital passes from their teachers, who can approve or deny them in seconds. The system tracks when passes are granted, where students say they are going, and when they arrive at their destination. It replaces paper passes with a digital workflow that gives schools real-time visibility into who is out of class and where they are supposed to be.
eHallPass (also written as e hall pass, e-hallpass, or ehall pass) is a digital hall pass system used by K-12 schools to manage student movement electronically. Instead of paper passes written by teachers, students request permission to leave class through a web or mobile interface. Teachers review requests on their dashboards and approve or deny with a single click. Administrators gain visibility into pass patterns, destination usage, and time spent out of class.
In one line: eHallPass (also called Securly Pass) is a digital hall pass app that manages student movement requests, teacher approvals, and arrival tracking without using GPS or live location data.
The Problem It Solves
Here is the thing though. Paper hall passes have been broken for decades. They are easy to lose, students can forge them, and half the time nobody bothers to write anything down. A teacher hands a student a laminated bathroom pass or a sticky note, and that student could be anywhere doing anything. The office has no idea who is supposed to be in the hall, and if there is an emergency, good luck figuring out where everyone actually is.
From what we have seen, the biggest frustration is not even the forgery. It is the lack of visibility. A school with 800 students might have 50 kids out of class at any given moment, and nobody knows if they are at the nurse, the bathroom, the library, or just wandering. Paper logs do not help because they are incomplete, illegible, or sitting in a desk drawer somewhere.
What “Digital Hall Pass System” Means
A digital hall pass system like eHallPass replaces all of that with a structured, logged workflow. Requests happen on a device. Approvals happen on a dashboard. Logs are automatic. Visibility is built in. Between you and me, it is not magic. It is just moving the entire pass process into software so every step is recorded and accessible to the right people.
Usually we see this described as “accountability plus safety.” Accountability means every pass is tied to a specific student, teacher, time, and destination. Safety means staff can see who is out in real time and where they are supposed to be if something goes wrong.
What It Helps Schools Do
- Replace paper passes – No more lost passes, forged signatures, or handwritten slips. Digital requests create a permanent record of who left class, when, and for how long.
- Create clearer accountability around student movement – Administrators see active passes in real time, making it easier to locate students during emergencies, identify bottlenecks at popular destinations (like bathrooms during passing periods), and spot patterns that might indicate students need additional support.
- Configurable campus policies – Schools configure the system to match their policies. Some enable destination limits (only three students in the bathroom at once), daily pass caps (maximum five bathroom passes per student per day), or time restrictions (no passes during the first ten minutes of class). Others use it purely for visibility without strict enforcement. The system adapts to each campus’s approach.
How EHallPass Works (Step-by-Step)
Look, I will be straight with you. The workflow is simpler than most people think. There are six basic steps from request to return.
Student Requests a Pass
A student opens the eHallPass app or website on their school device or personal phone. They select where they are departing from (usually their current classroom) and choose their destination from a dropdown menu: bathroom, nurse, main office, guidance, library, and so on. The request goes straight to the teacher.
In our experience, students like this part because it is fast and they do not have to interrupt the lesson to wave their hand and ask for permission in front of the whole class.
Automatic Checks in the Background
Before the teacher even sees the request, the system runs a few checks. It verifies whether the student has hit their daily pass limit. It checks if the destination is marked as closed or full. It might also flag no-contact orders if the district has configured that feature.
Now, you might be wondering why these checks matter. Well, it depends on the school. Some schools limit bathroom passes to three per day to reduce misuse. Others cap the number of students allowed in the nurse’s office at the same time to prevent crowding. The system enforces those rules automatically.
Teacher Approves or Denies (Fast)
Teachers can approve or deny passes in seconds without disrupting their lesson. If the school uses Securly Classroom integration, the pass request shows up as a notification or badge right on the teacher’s dashboard, so they do not even have to switch apps. One click and the pass is approved. One click and it is denied.
Honestly, this drives us crazy when people claim eHallPass is “more work” for teachers. It is the opposite. Paper passes require finding the physical pass, tracking who took it, and hoping they return it. Digital approvals take two seconds and leave a record.
Pass Becomes Active (Who’s in the Hall)
Once approved, the pass becomes active. That means the student is now allowed in the hall and the system knows they are out of class. Staff can see a live view of all active passes, which helps them understand who is supposed to be where at any given moment.
This is not a GPS tracker. It is more like a digital sign-out board. The system does not follow the student around. It just knows that Student A has an active pass to the library and Student B has one to the nurse.
Arrival / Check-In Is Recorded
When the student reaches their destination, they check in. That might happen via a kiosk at the destination room, or the destination staff might confirm arrival in their dashboard. The system logs the arrival time, which creates an accountability trail: request at 10:05 AM, approval at 10:06 AM, arrival at 10:08 AM.
Between you and me, this is where the safety piece really kicks in. If there is a fire drill or lockdown and the office needs to know where everyone is, they can pull up active passes and see that Student A is at the library and Student B is at the nurse. The location is understood by building or room, not a live map.
Pass Ends
Passes can be ended by the teacher when the student returns to class, by the system if a time limit expires, or by the student checking back in. Most of the time, the teacher just hits “end pass” when the student walks back into the room. The pass is archived, and the data goes into the reporting system for later analysis.
Key Features (Verified)
Limits & Destination Controls
eHallPass lets administrators set pass limits by student and by location. A school might say “Students can request no more than three bathroom passes per day” or “The nurse’s office can only accept five students at a time.” When a student tries to request a pass that would exceed the limit, the system blocks it.
Destinations can also be marked as closed or full. If the library is hosting a state test and cannot accept visitors, the librarian marks the destination closed in the system. Students will see that the library is unavailable when they try to select it.
Visibility & Safety
Staff can see who is in the hall right now by pulling up the active passes view. This is huge for safety. In an emergency, administrators do not have to run around asking teachers who is missing. They just check the dashboard and see every active pass.
Here is what most people do not realize. The system provides emergency visibility by building or room, not by GPS. It is not tracking a student’s phone location. It is showing where the student said they were going and whether they checked in at that destination. That is enough to account for people during a drill or lockdown without turning the school into a surveillance state.
Reporting & Oversight
School administrators can pull custom reports for pass takers, pass granters, and frequency. Want to know which students are requesting the most passes? Pull a report. Want to see which teachers are approving passes during first period versus seventh period? Pull a report. Want to identify trends like “bathroom passes spike right before lunch”? The data is all there.
We believe strongly that reporting is what makes digital passes worth it for administrators. Paper logs cannot give you trends. Digital logs can show patterns that help schools adjust schedules, staffing, and policies.
Access Options for Device-Limited Students
Not every student has a device. eHallPass handles that in three ways:
- Pass Kiosk: Lets students without personal devices request or check in for passes at a shared kiosk station. Think of it like a touch-screen terminal in the hallway or at the front desk.
- Proxy Pass: Gives teachers the ability to create passes on behalf of students who do not have a device. The teacher just opens the dashboard, selects the student, and creates the pass manually.
- Auto Pass: Allows students to check themselves in and out of the classroom without requiring frequent teacher interaction. This is useful for students who need regular access to specific destinations like the nurse or counseling office.
How to log in safely
Logging in correctly starts with using the right portal. Schools deploy eHallPass in different ways, so your login experience depends on your district’s configuration.
Use Your School’s Sign-In Method
Start with the link your school provides. Most districts embed the login portal in their main website navigation, student dashboard, or parent portal. You might see it labeled “Hall Pass,” “eHallPass,” “Securly Pass,” or simply “Digital Passes.” Clicking this link takes you to the correct authentication page configured for your school.
Most students and staff sign in using school-provided accounts and district SSO. This means your credentials are tied to your existing school Google, Microsoft, or district identity provider. If your school uses managed accounts, you won’t create a separate eHallPass password—authentication happens automatically through the platform your school already uses for email, classroom tools, and other apps.
If you don’t know your login method: Ask your teacher, check your school’s IT help page, or look for an email from your district’s technology department sent during onboarding. Schools typically distribute login instructions at the start of the year or when they first deploy the system.
If Your School Uses Securly Pass
Many schools access eHallPass through the Securly Pass platform. When you reach the login page, you’ll see options to sign in through a third-party identity provider. The specific options visible on your login screen depend on what your school IT department has enabled. You’ll only see the buttons your school configured.
SSO login options
Single sign-on (SSO) simplifies access by connecting eHallPass to your school’s existing identity provider. Instead of remembering separate passwords for every school app, you authenticate once through your district’s platform, and eHallPass opens automatically.
When your school uses Google Workspace for Education, you can sign in with your school Google account. Click Sign in with Google on the login page, enter your school email and password (usually ending in @students.yourschool.edu or similar), and authenticate. Google verifies your identity and redirects you without requiring a separate password.
Troubleshooting: If the Google sign-in window doesn’t open, check your browser’s popup blocker and enable popups for the eHallPass domain.
Clever
When your district launches apps through Clever, you access eHallPass from your Clever LaunchPad. Log in to your school’s Clever portal (usually clever.com/in/yourschool), find the eHallPass app tile, and click it. Clever handles authentication behind the scenes and opens eHallPass with your account already logged in.
Troubleshooting: If eHallPass doesn’t appear in your Clever LaunchPad, your school hasn’t added it yet. Contact your school IT to request they enable eHallPass in your district’s Clever app library.
Microsoft
When your school uses Office 365 or Azure Active Directory, you sign in with your school Microsoft account. Select Sign in with Microsoft on the login page, enter your school email and password, and complete authentication.
Troubleshooting: Make sure you’re using your school Microsoft account, not a personal Microsoft account. The two systems are separate.
ClassLink
When your district uses ClassLink LaunchPad, you access eHallPass through your ClassLink portal. Log in to ClassLink (usually a custom URL like launchpad.classlink.com/yourschool), locate the eHallPass icon in your app list, and click to launch. ClassLink authenticates you automatically.
Troubleshooting: If eHallPass isn’t visible in your ClassLink apps, ask your school IT department to add it to your LaunchPad.
GG4L
When your district uses Global Grid for Learning (GG4L), you sign in through your GG4L portal. Navigate to your school’s GG4L page, log in with your credentials, and find eHallPass in your app dashboard. Click to launch, and GG4L handles authentication.
Troubleshooting: GG4L requires administrator configuration. If eHallPass doesn’t appear, contact your school IT to request they add it to your app collection.
Which SSO should I choose? Use the one your school tells you to use. Most schools enable only one SSO method, so you won’t see multiple options. If you do see several buttons, ask your teacher or check your school’s IT documentation. Choosing the wrong method triggers an “account not found” error because your credentials don’t exist in that system.
EHallPass not working?
Login problems usually resolve quickly with a few standard checks. Work through this list in order before contacting support.
60-Second Checklist
- Try private/incognito mode – Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + N (Mac). This bypasses cached data and extensions that might block the login.
- Clear cookies for the site – Go to browser settings, find “Clear browsing data,” and select cookies and cache for the eHallPass domain. Refresh and try again.
- Try another browser – If using Chrome, switch to Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Browser-specific bugs sometimes interfere with SSO flows.
- Disable extensions briefly – Ad blockers, privacy extensions, and script blockers can prevent SSO popups. Turn them off temporarily.
- Confirm you’re using the district portal – Double-check the URL. Ensure you’re not on a third-party site or using an outdated bookmark. Use the login link from your official school website.
When to Escalate
For account issues, SSO problems, or device configuration: Contact your school’s IT help desk. They control user accounts, role assignments (student vs teacher), SSO integrations, and device policies like firewall rules or content filters. Provide your full name, student or staff ID, and a screenshot of the error message if possible.
For suspected system-wide outages: Wait 10–15 minutes to see if the issue resolves itself. Check your school’s website, social media, or email for announcements about planned maintenance. If there’s no update after 30 minutes and multiple users report the same problem, your school IT can escalate to vendor support on behalf of everyone.
Individual users should not contact vendor support directly. Schools manage their eHallPass deployments, and vendor support teams require district-level authentication to make changes. Always start with your school IT.
Student Quick-Start
Students use eHallPass to request permission to leave class for approved destinations. The process is fast once you understand the basic workflow.
Requesting a Pass
- Log in to your student dashboard and look for the Request Pass button (usually prominently displayed at the top). Click it to open a request form.
- Choose your destination from the dropdown menu. Options typically include bathroom, nurse, guidance counselor, office, locker, library, etc. Some schools let you add an optional note.
- Submit the request. Your teacher receives a notification. Response times vary—some respond within seconds, while others wait for a natural break in the lesson.
Once approved, your pass displays on your dashboard with a countdown timer. Some schools also generate a QR code that hall monitors or administrators can scan to verify you’re in the right place.
Checking Pass Status and History
Click Pass History in your dashboard to see all past requests. Each entry shows the date, time, destination, duration, and whether the pass was approved or denied. If a request is still pending, you’ll see “Waiting for approval” in your active passes section.
If a teacher denies your request, they might add a note explaining why (like “wait until after the test”). You can submit a new request later when the timing is better.
What to Do If a Request Is Stuck
If your request stays pending for more than five minutes during class, raise your hand and politely ask your teacher if they saw the request. Sometimes notifications get missed if the teacher is focused on instruction.
If your pass expires before you return to class, don’t panic. Most systems log the overage but don’t lock you out. When you get back, check your dashboard to see if your teacher left a note. Some schools set automatic alerts when passes exceed the time limit, so your teacher might already know.
If you can’t submit a request at all (button grayed out, error message, etc.), try refreshing the page. If that doesn’t work, ask your teacher to create a pass for you manually. Teachers have the ability to issue passes on behalf of students via “proxy pass” if the student’s device isn’t working.
Teacher/Admin Quick-Start
Teachers manage student requests from their dashboard, while administrators configure system-wide settings and monitor campus activity.
Reviewing Requests
When a student submits a pass request, a notification appears in your teacher dashboard. Click the notification to view request details: student name, destination, current time, and how many passes the student has used today.
Review the context. If you’re in the middle of direct instruction or about to give a quiz, you might ask the student to wait. If it’s independent work time, approve immediately.
Approving or Denying
- Approve: Grant the pass instantly. The student’s dashboard updates with a countdown timer. Some schools set automatic expirations, while others require the student to manually end the pass.
- Deny: If the timing isn’t appropriate, click deny. You can add a note like “please wait 10 minutes” or “come back after the quiz.” The student sees your reason and can resubmit later.
Manual Pass Creation (Proxy Pass): If a student’s device isn’t working, create a pass directly from your dashboard. Select the student’s name, choose the destination, and issue the pass.
Patterns and Reporting (High-Level)
Your dashboard shows pass frequency data. You can see which students request the most passes and busiest times. This helps identify students who might need additional support.
Administrators see system-wide analytics, including campus-wide pass volume, bottlenecks at popular destinations (like bathrooms during passing periods), and teacher response times. This information helps adjust policies, staffing, or schedules to improve flow.
Privacy and tracking questions
Digital hall pass systems raise questions about student privacy, data collection, and access. Here’s what verified sources confirm—and what remains school-specific.
What Data Is Collected?
According to independent privacy evaluations, eHallPass collects personal information such as:
- Names (to identify students and staff)
- Email addresses (for account creation and notifications)
- Graduation year (to manage student cohorts)
- Pass-specific data: Destinations, Timestamps (requested, approved, started, ended), Duration, and Approval Status.
This data helps schools monitor movement patterns. However, the specific retention period and sharing policies vary by district.
Does It Track Location?
Standard usage records destination and timestamps, not GPS-level location. When you request a pass to the bathroom, the system logs “bathroom” and records the time you left and returned. It does not track your physical location as you move through the building.
Honestly, this drives us crazy when people say eHallPass is “tracking students with GPS.” That is false. The product brief explicitly states it does not use device-based location data or any other location-tracking software or hardware. What it does is record the destination you selected and when you checked in.
Note: Some schools enable optional features through campus Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacons. If your school uses real-time location tracking, they must disclose it in their technology usage policy. Check your district’s policy to confirm.
Who Can See Pass History?
- Students: See their own history in their dashboard—every request and its outcome.
- Teachers: See requests from their own students. Other teachers do not, unless granted cross-class roles (like grade-level deans).
- Administrators: See system-wide data across all students and staff. They generate reports showing pass counts by student, teacher, or destination.
- Parents: Typically do not have direct access unless provided via a specific parent portal. Some schools send weekly summaries.
For your school’s specific policies on data retention, access, and sharing: Ask your school administration. We cannot make blanket statements because each district configures the system according to their own requirements.
Comparing digital hall pass systems
eHallPass isn’t the only option. Schools evaluate Securly Pass, SmartPass, Minga, GoGuardian Hall Pass, and other platforms.
EHallPass vs Securly Pass
Many schools access eHallPass through the Securly Pass platform, meaning the two are often used together rather than as competing products. Securly Pass provides the infrastructure, while eHallPass handles the workflow.
Key independent differences involve pricing (per-student vs flat fee), SSO integrations, reporting depth, and integration with other safety tools like incident reporting.
Other Alternatives
- SmartPass x Flex: Focuses on activity scheduling and campus-wide visibility with advanced analytics.
- Minga Hall Pass: Part of a larger campus management platform that includes digital IDs and event ticketing.
- GoGuardian Hall Pass: AI-powered system that offers automatic pass suggestions and hallway safety alerts.
- Pikmykid Digital Hall Pass: Emphasizes student safety and behavior tracking with parent notification features.
Paper vs Digital Hall Pass (What’s Actually Better)
Okay, here is where people get defensive because they think digital systems are overkill. But the data does not lie.
| Feature | Paper Pass | Digital Pass (eHallPass) |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow. Teacher must stop instruction to write slips. | Fast. 2-second digital approval from the dashboard. |
| Accountability | Low. Easily lost, altered, or forged. | High. Permanent record with timestamps and requester. |
| Visibility | None. No school-wide awareness of who is out. | Instant. Real-time dashboard for all staff. |
| Reporting | Impossible. Would require manual review of slips. | Instant. Pull reports on trends and bottlenecks. |
Frequently Asked Questions
eHallPass (also known as Securly Pass) is a digital hall pass system used by K-12 schools to manage student movement electronically. Students request permission to leave class via a web or mobile app, teachers approve or deny requests on their dashboards, and administrators gain visibility into pass patterns and destination usage. It replaces paper passes with a logged, accountable system to improve safety, reduce misuse, and maximize class time.
Yes. eHallPass is the product name, and Securly Pass is the branding used by Securly, the company that develops it. They refer to the same digital hall pass system.
Use the login link provided by your school—usually on your school’s website, student portal, or in an email from IT. Enter your school credentials or authenticate through your district’s SSO platform (Google, Clever, Microsoft, ClassLink, or GG4L). If unsure which method to use, ask your teacher or check your school’s IT help page.
Your credentials are assigned by your school or district. Students typically receive a username (student ID or school email) and temporary password during orientation. Teachers get credentials from district IT. You cannot create your own account—if you don’t know yours, ask your teacher or contact school IT.
Yes, many schools enable single sign-on through these platforms. The available options depend on what your school IT has configured—you’ll only see the SSO buttons your school has enabled on the login screen. Ask your IT department for the method your school uses.
Common causes include incorrect credentials, browser cache/cookie issues, blocked popups, disabled cookies, or your account not being provisioned yet. Try incognito/private mode, clear cookies/cache, enable popups for the site, and confirm you’re using the correct portal. If problems continue, contact school IT with a screenshot of the error.
If using SSO (Google, Clever, Microsoft, ClassLink, GG4L), reset your password directly through that platform—eHallPass doesn’t store a separate password. For standard username/password logins, use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page and follow the email instructions. If the reset email doesn’t arrive, contact school IT.
Yes, most schools support mobile browser access. Open Safari, Chrome, or your preferred browser on your phone/tablet, go to your school’s eHallPass portal, and log in normally—the interface adapts to smaller screens. Some schools offer native mobile apps; check with your IT department for availability.
Standard usage records only the destination you select (e.g., bathroom, office) and timestamps for when you left and returned. Real-time GPS or Wi-Fi-based location tracking is an optional feature that requires additional hardware and explicit school/district policy approval—it’s not enabled by default in most implementations.
Students can view their own pass history. Teachers see requests and history for their own students. Administrators have system-wide visibility for oversight and reporting. Parents usually do not have direct access unless the school provides a specific parent portal.
You can use a school kiosk (if available) to request or check in for passes. Alternatively, your teacher can create a proxy/manual pass on your behalf.
A room or destination may be marked closed (e.g., during a test, meeting, or maintenance) or full (limit reached for students allowed at once). The system automatically blocks new requests to prevent overcrowding or conflicts.
No. Securly states it does not sell student information or use it for advertising. Data is processed in compliance with laws like FERPA and COPPA to protect student privacy.
Usually no—eHallPass is a district- or school-controlled system. If you have concerns, contact your district office or administration to discuss any possible alternative arrangements.
