A complete breakdown of every feature — built for safety, engagement, and simplicity. Free for students. Free for colleges. Free forever.
Students can message each other one-to-one or in groups — but staff have complete visibility over every conversation. Nothing is hidden.
Direct messages — students can message anyone they've been connected with by staff, privately and securely.
Group chats — staff create named groups (e.g. "Year 2 · English") and assign students. Only members see the group.
Full staff visibility — every message in every chat is viewable by authorised staff from the admin dashboard.
Message removal — staff can delete any message instantly. It disappears for students but is archived for compliance.
Image sharing — students can share images within chats, all subject to the same moderation controls.
Staff create named class groups and hand-pick which students belong. Students only ever see the groups they've been assigned to — never another class's conversations.
Admin creates the group — give it a name, add a description, and choose students from your roster.
Invite-only membership — students cannot request to join or browse available groups. Access is granted by staff only.
Isolated by default — a student in one class group has no knowledge of, and no access to, any other group they haven't been added to.
Archivable — at the end of a term, groups can be archived. Conversations are retained on record but removed from student view.
Staff post announcements, notices, and news to the institution's Pinboard. Students stay informed without the noise and distraction of consumer social media.
Staff-only posting — only authorised staff can create Pinboard posts. Students can read and react, but cannot post.
Tagged categories — tag posts as Announcement, Notice, or News so students can filter what's relevant to them.
Push notification on post — optionally send a push notification to all students the moment a post goes live.
Institution-scoped — students only see Pinboard posts from their own institution. Nothing from other colleges ever appears.
Give your staff the power to act immediately. Every message, every group, every interaction is within reach from the admin dashboard — no digging, no delays.
Real-time message feed — browse all messages across all groups in chronological order. Spot issues as they happen.
One-click removal — remove any message instantly. The student sees it disappear; your record stays intact.
Archived chat history — archived groups and flagged messages are retained for compliance and can be reviewed at any time.
Student suspension — remove a student's access to the platform instantly from the admin panel.
Keep students engaged and informed without them having to check the app. Push notifications land directly on their phone for messages, announcements, and important updates.
New message alerts — students are notified the moment a new message arrives in one of their groups or DMs.
Pinboard notifications — staff can trigger a push notification when they publish an important announcement.
iOS & Android — native push notifications work on both platforms with no additional setup required.
Student-controlled — students can manage their notification preferences from within the app settings.
Onboard your entire cohort in minutes. Manage students, staff, and roles from one simple dashboard — no technical expertise required.
Bulk import — upload a CSV of your student list and send invitation emails to all of them in one click.
Invitation emails — students receive a personalised email with a secure link to set their own password and join.
Role management — assign students, staff, and admin roles with different levels of access and visibility.
Instant deactivation — remove a student's access immediately if they leave or if a concern is raised.
StudyPass is built so no personal contact information is ever exposed. Students and staff connect using only their display name — no phone numbers, no email addresses, no identity leakage.
No phone numbers shared — connecting on StudyPass never reveals a student's personal mobile number to anyone.
Email stays private — used only for login. Never displayed to other users inside the app.
No cross-group identity — students in different groups cannot look each other up, view profiles, or make contact outside their assigned groups.
Zero third-party data sharing — student data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose outside the platform.
Institution-isolated data — each college's data is completely separated. No cross-institution data access is possible.
