Admissions Configuration and Management

The Candidate Profile provides a robust view of data related to an Admissions Lead, Prospect or Applicant. It includes data pertaining to immediate family, school legacy data, candidate activity, interview details, checklist item progress, test scores, interests, notes and other details related to a candidate’s inquiry and application.

The Activity Log tab on the Candidate detail screen brings together information about a Candidate from all steps of the admissions process.

The File Preview tab on the Admission Candidate detail screen is configured as a URL preview, allowing schools to easily view admission specific files.

Admission Source is a field to track the origin of a specific Admission Candidate. In a number of cases, this field populates automatically. In other cases, Admission Staff may need to update the Admission Source manually.

There are key roles, records, and concepts used in Veracross Admissions that are important to understand in order for the school to align their own understanding of Admissions with Veracross’s established workflow.

Application Review tools in Veracross allow the admissions review process to function paperlessly by providing a single place where applications can be reviewed and scored.

After the decision letter text templates have been set up, the next step in the admissions decision publishing process is to assign those text templates to individual decision statuses.

There are reasons why an admissions team might need to move or copy a candidate’s admissions data from one year to another.

Decision letter text templates are used to notify applicants of their admissions decisions through the Veracross Admission Portal. In a broader context, all Veracross text templates are records of preconfigured wording that allow for merge fields to be used, meaning that a school is able to create a personalized correspondence through a set format.

This article explains the fields on the general tab of the Application detail screen as well as the general tab of the Applicant/Prospect detail screen (also referred to as the Candidate detail screen).
