Join a school

Join your school to unlock campus features, find classmates, and add a school badge to your profile.

If Bump had a yearbook, this is where you’d show up.

Think of Schools as Bump’s campus community. It’s a way to make your profile feel a little more “where you’re from,” and to help you run into the right people in the right places.

Since location is sensitive, keep it cozy, and add the people you actually know. Not the entire campus!

How to join

There are two ways to join a school on Bump:

Be on campus

  1. Spend a bit of time on campus with Bump installed

  2. When Bump detects you’re there, you’ll see the option to join

Use an invite link

  1. Open the invite link someone sends you

  2. Follow the prompts to join the school

You must have visited the school in person or have an invite link to be eligible. Searching for a school on the map won't work.

Unlocking schools

Some schools stay locked until at least 10 students join. To help reach that number:

  • Share your school’s invite link with friends and classmates

Once enough people sign up, your school unlocks and becomes fully visible and searchable 🎉 Learn more about unlocking schools.

What happens after you join

Once you’re in, you’ll automatically:

  • get a school badge on your profile

  • see your school pinned on your map

  • appear in the student directory on the school page

  • discover classmates already using Bump on campus
