Across institutions like Manchester, Edinburgh, UCL, Cambridge, and Leeds, student unions and academic departments organize thousands of events annually. Yet many continue to rely on slow paper sign-in sheets or commercial ticketing apps that skim substantial booking fees from student pockets.
Documented student event systems, such as the QR-based entry protocols utilized by Manchester Students' Union, demonstrate that students expect fast, mobile-first admission. URPASS brings this modern standard to every UK society and faculty, without the need for bespoke software development or expensive hardware.
