Admissions Management for Colleges

Common App, Coalition for College, and Common App for Transfer applications intake directly via API. Application data, essays, school reports, transcripts, recommendations, and supporting documents populate the prospective student record automatically. Reader workflow assigns applications to counsellors with rubric scoring; reader-pair adjudication and committee review configure per institution preference. Reader workload balancing prevents one counselor from being overloaded while another has capacity. Multi-counselor reading and committee deliberation log to the application record for audit and post-cycle review.

Inbound transfer student credit evaluation runs course-by-course against catalog equivalency tables maintained by registrar. Common articulation agreements (state community college 2+2 agreements, consortium agreements like the Five Colleges of Massachusetts, the Claremont Colleges, the Tri-College Consortium, the Big Ten Academic Alliance) process batched transfers in one workflow. Reverse transfer (4-year credits flowing back to community college for AA completion) supports the IPEDS-tracked reverse-transfer pathway that benefits about 38% of US undergraduates per NSC Research Center who transfer institutions. Transfer student degree audit reflects post-evaluation credits accurately at admission, not after enrollment.

Following the September 2020 Department of Justice consent decree, NACAC retired three pre-2020 mandatory practice provisions: (1) the May 1 deposit deadline as a binding industry-wide deadline, (2) the prohibition on transfer recruitment of students enrolled elsewhere, (3) the prohibition on incentive-based recruitment compensation. NACAC published Code of Ethics and Professional Practices (CEPP) post-settlement as guidance, not mandate. Workflow configures to your college's post-2020 policy: how May 1 timing handles (most colleges still use May 1 as a non-binding default but accept later decisions on case-by-case basis); how inquiries from students enrolled elsewhere handle (some colleges respond, others continue informal voluntary restraint); how counselor compensation aligns. Audit trail supports CEPP-aligned recruitment documentation.

Aid officers package merit aid, need-based grants, federal Pell and SEOG, state grants, institutional aid (donor-restricted scholarships matched to applicant criteria), and external scholarships per admitted student. ISIR imports from FAFSA flow into packaging workflow once applicants complete FAFSA. Packaging respects per-fund eligibility constraints (athletic-only for athletes, donor-restricted to matching majors, geographic-restricted to in-state students). Award letters release with admission letters where the college's policy permits simultaneous release; otherwise aid releases within a defined window post-admission. Net-price disclosure follows federal Title IV requirements and the College Cost Transparency Initiative recommendations.

Yes. State-system reporting templates configure for UC system (California UC Application), CSU system (Cal State Apply), SUNY system (SUNY Application), CUNY (CUNY Application), New Jersey HESC, Illinois ISBE, North Carolina UNC system, Georgia University System (USG), Florida State University System (SUS), Texas A&M System, University of Texas System, and other state systems. Federal IPEDS Admissions component generates from source. Regional accreditation admissions metrics for HLC, MSCHE, SACSCOC, NECHE, NWCCU, WSCUC, ACCJC export at accreditor-required intervals. Program accreditation (AACSB, ABET, CAEP, etc.) admissions data generates per accreditor template.
