Sign your school up
Starting a free term, and what you need to hand before you begin.
Any school can start a full free term without talking to us first, and without a card. Nothing charges itself at the end of it — you get an invoice and you decide.
- 1Open the sign-up page and enter your school’s name and country. The country sets your currency and your price band, so pick the real one.
- 2Create your own account — this becomes the school’s first Admin.
- 3Confirm your email address.
- 4You land in the console with a setup checklist showing what is already done and what is left.
You are the Admin of this school, not of GatePass. Nobody at GatePass can see your students’ records by signing in as you.
