Most academic institutions have numerous external visitors that need to access their campuses. CampusPass allows your institution to hold external visitors such as contractors, maintenance personnel, and vendors to the same standards as students, faculty, and staff.
With CampusPass, hosts can add visitors by simply providing the visitor's name and email address. After the host schedules a visit, the visitor will be able to request a pass to a campus to verify they are safe to be there.
Adding visitors also allows them to be selected for contact tracing if they are exposed to any students, faculty, and staff that have tested positive for COVID-19. If they are exposed or diagnosed with COVID-19, they can also be placed into isolation so that they can't request a pass until they are removed from isolation.
Depending on the institution, visitors may have two different options for registering to visit a campus.
Visitors can always register remotely. However, if your institution has screeners at your campus, they may also be able to complete the entire registration process on site.
Visitors can register before they get to campus if a host adds them to CampusPass and schedules a visit for them.
To register remotely:
If an academic institution has a process to screen visitors when they get to a campus, visitors can register on site to visit the campus.
To register a visitor after they arrive on campus:
After the screener registers the visitor, the visitor will receive an account creation email to reset their temporary password. However, they don't need to complete the password reset for the screener to request a pass.
Response managers can do the following for visitors in the response hub:
You cannot request tests for visitors and they do not appear in the People report.
Visitors do not see the CampusPass home page. Instead they see the visitor portal where they can:
Visitors do not see announcements. They also cannot log contacts. However, when other users log contacts, they can select visitors. As a result, if a visitor has a COVID-19 isolation incident, the users that have reported contact with them display in the Contact Tracing tab of the incident.
Hosts can access the visitor portal from the CampusPass home page where they can schedule visits and view and cancel upcoming visits. They can also add new visitors when they are scheduling a visit.
To make someone a host, all you have to do is add them to the Campus Pass Hosts
group.
If you would like to give all users access to host, simply add the Campus Pass Users
group to the Campus Pass Hosts
group.
