Public apply, track, offers, and enrollment to roster

Admissions

Run admission cycles from public application through tests, interviews, shortlists, offer letters, and enrollment into the student roster, with a guardian-facing track page families can use without an account. Admissions is often the first impression families have of your school. Schoolyi gives you a structured pipeline: configure intake, collect applications and documents online, schedule tests and interviews, manage shortlists and offers, then enroll accepted students directly into roster records. Families track progress themselves, which cuts down on status phone calls.

Product truth

What to verify before rollout

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Can families apply without a staff login?+

Public apply and track pages sit outside the staff workspace. Committees review inside authenticated admissions workflows.

Pilot one record through application, review, decision, and handoff so the public status and staff queue remain aligned. Include an incomplete-document or declined-offer case before opening the workflow to every intake.

What happens after an offer is accepted?+

Accepted applicants enroll into live student records. Fee accounts and class placement start from the same roster finance already uses.

Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.

Do inquiry spreadsheets disappear?+

Pipeline stages, committee notes, and document uploads stay in one record from first inquiry through enrollment.

Pilot one record through application, review, decision, and handoff so the public status and staff queue remain aligned. Include an incomplete-document or declined-offer case before opening the workflow to every intake.

Can we run multiple intake cycles?+

Yes. Separate admission cycles, forms, and capacity rules can run in parallel for early years and senior school.
