10 steps to simplify admissions processes at international schools

Simplify admissions to your institution

The admissions season is often synonymous with administrative overload: forms to process, documents to verify, and family questions to manage. The result: a long, tedious, and sometimes error-prone process. However, with the right tools, it’s possible to streamline all procedures for international schools and school groups.

In this article, we offer 10 concrete steps to simplify the admissions process.

1. Replace paper forms with an online portal:
   Allow families to register online, submit their documents, and track the progress of their file at any time.
2. Automate application validation :
   Create customized validation processes based on academic level, sibling status or even nationality. You gain in responsiveness and consistency.
3. Centralize communication with families :
   Integrate a customer tracking system directly linked to your admissions portal. Automate confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups for incomplete applications.
4. Use an admissions dashboard :
   Keep track of the number of applications, geographic origin, conversion rate, deadlines: all the key data accessible in one click to better anticipate and organize the start of the school year.
5. Ensure a smooth transition to registration:
   Once admission is validated, data can be reused for registration, billing , class assignment… without duplicates.
6. Choose a solution available in multiple languages: allow your staff and parents from different backgrounds to carry out their actions in the language that suits them.
7. Choose quality support: Choose a solution whose support teams can help you overcome the challenges that a school year can bring.
8. Promote communication: with a suitable solution like Eduka, facilitate exchanges with staff and parents by using dedicated modules ( Messaging , Communication ).
9. Reduce the number of documents processed: thanks to an electronic signature system , reduce the use of paper in your establishment and guarantee efficiency and secure archiving.
10. Integrate your admissions with a  Finance module  for visibility into billing and collection of fees related to the admissions process.
    

Simplifying your establishment’s information system means gaining efficiency, strengthening your establishment’s image and improving the experience for families.

The key: smoother, faster and more professional processes.
