Admissions Software for Higher Education

We understand that your Higher Education Institution offers a range of courses that inspire your students to develop their deep understanding and push boundaries in their subject areas. Your job is to attract applications from a wide demographic and find the best applicants by running seamless, paperless recruitment, application, admissions and enrollment processes across your institution.

HEIapply is empowering Higher Educational Institutions worldwide to do exactly this. We are helping Institutions to perform better with more streamlined admissions processes. Our intuitive cloud-based school system is designed to reflect your existing processes entirely online, enabling you to refine and improve them to provide the ultimate applicant journey.

The Challenge

Higher Educational Institutions are home to students from different regions nationally and across the globe. We know that means applications need to be processed from all over the world. Processing the volume of applications that you receive can be challenging for a small team, or a team that is dispersed across marketing, admissions, colleges and departments if they don't have a solid student information system. This also means that a collaborative approach to admissions should be achieved in sharing relevant information.

As if this wasn't complex enough, the choice available to the applicant is so great now, that even the most selective institution needs to ensure that the applicant journey is seamless, supporting the applicant to engage in the process at every stage, to attract the best applicants. With high levels of manual effort involved, Higher Education Institutions are at risk of falling short on delivering the applicant journey the modern-day applicant expects.

Our management solution for your Higher Education admissions

We recognise the need for Higher Education Institutions to operate efficiently, effectively and competitively, recruit from all over the globe, and place the right graduate in the right role. We know that speed and cost efficiency are hugely important.

That’s why we work with you to ensure that we have all the vital ingredients to create your perfect paperless application management system and selection solution at a budget that works for you.

Common Questions asked by Higher Education Institutions

Applicant has forgotten their password. How is access regained?

Simply go to the login page and click on forgot password, enter the email address that was used when setting up the account and click send. An email will be sent to that email address with a web link that can be followed to reset the password.
Can an applicant resume with an application they have already started?

Yes! The HEIapply Applicant Portal is designed to create an easy and seamless applicant journey. The applicant can register, begin filling out an application and return to it later. Applications are always saved so that the applicant can resume later and continue on from where they stopped.
An applicant needs to contact the admissions team regarding a question on the application form. Can they do this?

Yes they can! The Applicant Portal comes with an inbuilt Communication Inbox for every applicant. Here the applicant can see a log of all communication (including emails, letters or instant messages) with your admissions officers and also send new instant messages, should they have any questions or concerns.
An applicant has made a mistake on the application form, but realises after it has been submitted. How do they rectify the error?

This is where the communication inbox comes into play. When logged into the system, the applicant is able to send a message to your admissions officers informing them of the mistake they have made. Any replies from the admissions team will be listed here as well
An applicant has changed their mind and wishes to withdraw their application. How do they do this?

It is possible to withdraw the application at anytime. The applicant can simply use the communication inbox to convey this information to the admissions officers who will then be able to make all the necessary arrangements.
Is it possible for admissions officers to send a bulk email to a selection of applicants?

Yes it is! The Bulk Email functionality includes creating an Email List using filters that you apply to the data already within the system. You can apply one or as many filters as required to refine or widen the selection of applicants. There is no need to import CSV's, as all applicant email information already exists inside HEIapply.
Is it possible to display a link to the relevant form on the Institution's website

Yes! You can embed the forms generated by HEIapply on your website and link to the HEIapply applicant portal on any relevant page of the website
Are admissions officers able to search, filter, report and export data out of the system?

Yes! Your admissions team is able to apply searches and filters to run reports on the data inside HEIapply and export the results to csv or pdf format
Is it possible for admissions officers to respond directly to a private message?

Both the applicant and admin portals come with an in-built communications inbox meaning both parties are able to keep up to date with the progress of the application process. Here admissions staff, once logged in to the dashboard, can simply select the applicant they wish to make contact with a reply to them directly and privately.
Can admissions officers progress an applicant quickly through a standard process with automated notifications?

Yes! With HEIapply you can pre-define a standard process for each level, course or programme route which translates to the Application Progress Meter inside each application received by your admissions team. When an admissions officer progresses the application through the stages, automated email notifications are sent out to the applicants to update them.
