Admissions is how new people join your school: you record applicants, move them through review, make a decision, and turn those you admit into students. Open Admissions from the dashboard, described as: "Record applicants and move them through the review and decision pipeline."
What an applicant is
An applicant is someone applying to your school who is not yet a student. An applicant carries a status that shows where they are in the process. As you work, you move each applicant from one status to the next.
The stages
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Submitted | The application has been received. |
| Under review | Someone is assessing the application. |
| Admitted | The applicant has been accepted. |
| Waitlisted | Accepted in principle, waiting for a place. |
| Rejected | Not accepted this time. |
| Withdrawn | The applicant pulled out. |
| Enrolled | Admitted and turned into a student. |
Step by step
- Record an applicant. Create an entry with the applicant's details.
- Review the application. Use Review to assess it and move it to Under review.
- Make a decision. Set the status to Admitted, Waitlisted, or Rejected.
- Convert admitted applicants to students. Choose Convert to enrollment. This turns the applicant into an enrolled student and gives them a way to log in: the same one-time activation described in Students and enrollment.
Filter by status
You can filter the list by status to focus, for example, show only applications that are Under review so nothing waits too long.
Where admitted applicants go
Once converted, a former applicant becomes a student in your Student registry, ready to be enrolled in class sections. Their journey from "person applying" to "student in a class" is complete.
What you achieved
- New applicants are recorded and tracked by status.
- You have reviewed and decided on applications.
- Admitted applicants are converted into enrolled students.
Next, manage your students and their class lists: Students and enrollment.
