Campus geofencing defines a virtual boundary around school grounds so that student phones automatically lock when a device enters the boundary and unlock when it leaves, without manual action.

Also known as: geofence, location-based locking
A geofence is a GPS-defined perimeter. In a phone-free context, crossing into the campus boundary triggers phone restrictions and leaving lifts them, so enforcement starts and ends automatically each day.
Well-designed geofencing detects only campus entry and exit — not a student's ongoing location — which is an important privacy distinction for parents and administrators.
