Admissions tasks
Using the Admissions tasks feature, you can create a list of tasks for your Applicants that they will have to complete in order to be admitted to your university.
The Admissions tasks you have created will be displayed for all your Applicants, both those who have applied before and those who will apply later. Each Admissions task is an easily customizable form with a set of fields that you can use to request additional information from Applicants, as well as specify what they need to do after the Applicant submits the Application form to your university in the Free-Apply.com system.
Applicants will be able to perform Admissions tasks for your university as soon as they send the Application form to your university.
Types of admissions tasks
Create a set of Admissions tasks according to your university's admissions process. You can ask the Applicant to upload passport information, existing diplomas and other information. You can also ask the Applicant to perform the actions required for admission: sign up for a student visa, pay the tuition fee, etc.
Create one Admissions task per action.
For example, you can create an Admissions task named Passport to request information about your Applicant, and an Admissions task named Education to request information about diplomas.
