Retaining all of the features developed for version one, the latest release of the iSAMS Admissions Portal now includes a host of enhancements, as defined by the feedback we received directly from registrars at some of your schools. These new enhancements provide greater flexibility around the different application processes required by admissions’ teams, helping to create a more streamlined admissions process at your school.
Offering an online, paperless way to manage admissions, the Admissions Portal sits nicely within your school’s PR website. Quick and easy access allows parents to complete the required enquiry and registration forms, as well as paying the relevant deposit.
With the ability to have multiple enquiry and registration forms, you can tailor each one to make it relevant for the year or entry point you have applications open for. The portal also helps admissions’ teams keep on top of all incoming enquiry forms, with automated email notifications and applicant flagging when a deposit is outstanding. Furthermore, personalised emails can also be sent to parents to confirm an application has been submitted. These offer an ideal opportunity to provide parents with additional information about your specific admissions process and/or request for any files or documents to be sent across to assist with the application.
