Pass Limits will limit the number of passes a student can make each day, week, or term at your school. This setting can only be set from an admin account.
Setting Up Pass Limits
Go to the Accounts tab on the left, and click on Pass Limits near the top right.
Turn on the Limit for All Students.
Choose the timeframe for your limit: per day, per week, or per term.
There is no ability to "mix and match" pass limit types. The time frame selected will be reflected across the entire campus, and also apply to your individual pass limits as well.
The "term" is based on the terms in your schedule. If you have not set this up, reach out to our support team for help.
Hit Save.
Note: Pass Limits will only count rooms/passes toggled to "Count Towards Pass Limits".
Setting Individual Limits
There is also an option to set an Individual Limit for specific students. Individual pass limits overrule the Limit for All Students. This is great to provide further intervention by limiting passes, or to accommodate your students with IEP/504/Medical needs by providing more passes.
Search and add your student
Adjust their Pass Limit. The timeframe for this is based off your selection for all students.
Add a description or note (optional)
Hit Save
Teachers and administrators can also see a student's pass limit from the Student Snapshot page.
Counting Passes for Certain Rooms
You can disable certain rooms from counting toward the pass limit. This helps schools manage student movement more effectively by restricting passes to other areas without impacting access to specific locations. Click here to learn more.
FAQ
Can staff override a limit if they need to?
Yes! When a student reaches their limit, they'll still be able to create passes but it will require the teacher to approve the pass. A teacher will be shown a warning and they can manually override the limit.
Do pass limits apply to all passes?
Pass limits only apply to passes for now. Pass limits do not apply to scheduled passes. Pass limits also will only apply to rooms with "Counts Towards Pass Limits" toggled on.
What happens if I use the term setting and we are not currently in the date range of a term?
If a student is making a pass and you are outside of the date range of the term, they will be able to create unlimited passes
How do I set the term for my pass limit?
The term is based on your schedule. If you do not have schedules set up, please reach out to support for help
When I set Pass Limits to "Per Term" I get a note that says overlap, what does this mean?
If you see the overlap alert, you have terms that currently have overlapping dates. You will need to correct this error. Hovering your mouse over the message will provide support.
