Module Overview

One System for Every Aspect
of Boarding Life

The Housing & Exeat module is built specifically for boarding schools. It brings together dormitory room management and the exeat approval workflow into a single seamless digital system — eliminating paper exeat books, reducing gate confusion, and giving parents real-time peace of mind.

Room Allocation Management

Assign boarding students to dormitories, blocks, and specific rooms. View occupancy at a glance and manage transfers between rooms without losing history.

Digital Exeat Issuance

Issue, approve, and track exeats digitally — capturing destination, duration, reason, and approving officer — replacing paper exeat books entirely.

Automatic SMS & Email to Parents

The moment an exeat is approved and a student leaves campus, parents receive an automatic SMS and email notification — with destination and expected return time.

Full Return Tracking & Audit Trail

Record when students return from exeat, flag overdue returns, and maintain a complete searchable log of every movement — per student and per term.

Exeat Workflow

How the Digital Exeat Process Works

From request to return — every step is tracked, logged, and communicated automatically. No paper. No confusion.

1. Student Submits Exeat Request

The student (or housemaster on their behalf) submits a digital exeat request — stating destination, reason, departure date, and expected return.

2. Housemaster Reviews & Approves

The housemaster reviews the request on any device and approves or denies it with a note. All decisions are time-stamped and saved to the student's record.

3. Parent Receives Instant SMS & Email

On approval, the system instantly sends an SMS and email to the parent — confirming their child's departure, destination, and expected return date and time.

4. Return is Recorded at the Gate

When the student returns, the gate staff marks them back in the system. If they are overdue, an alert is triggered and the parent is notified immediately.

5. Full Log & Audit Trail Saved

Every exeat — approved, denied, or overdue — is permanently logged per student and available for review by school management at any time.
