Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Can families begin an application without an account?+

The public multi-step application wizard does not require a staff login, allowing prospective families to begin from a school-branded page.

Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.

What can applicants submit online?+

Configured application fields, required documents, and an application fee step where enabled are collected before the admissions team reviews the record.

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.

How do families identify their application later?+

The confirmation step provides an application number that families can use with the public track flow.

Test the answer with a representative record and role before making it part of a live term workflow. Capture the expected result and the exception path so the team can verify it after launch.

Where does a completed application go?+

Completed public applications hand off to the authenticated admissions review queue, including the document state and configured intake context.

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.
