Admission and Enrollment

From Application to Enrolled Student

Admission is the first thing a family experiences of your school, and in most schools it still runs on paper forms, spreadsheets and phone calls. SCL puts the whole intake online: parents apply from any device, pay the application fee as they submit or, where the school allows it, later from their private tracking page, and follow their child's progress there without calling the office.

The Applicants list in SCL Admission, showing each applicant's grade, colour-coded status, tags, current phase from application to fee payment, and assessment result.

Your admissions team works one list. Every applicant moves through four phases, Application, Assessment, Interview and Fee Payment, with your own colour-coded statuses on top, and each user group can be locked out of the phases it has no business changing.

When a family is accepted, one click turns the applicant into an enrolled student. The parent account and family code are created, contacts and medical details carry across, uploaded documents follow, and any invoices already raised move with them.

Admissions in 46 Seconds

School Admissions Without the Retyping

Families apply on your own form, book an assessment and pay the fee online, then follow every step on one tracking link. Once registration is paid, pick a classroom and click Enroll: the student, the parent account and the documents arrive with nothing typed twice.

Online Application Form

Parents apply from a phone, tablet or laptop through a four-step form covering the student, parents, medical details and a final review. No account is needed and nothing has to be printed.

Your Form, Your Fields

Decide every field on the application form: what appears, what is required, what must be unique and how wide it sits. Place each field you add under Student, Parent, Guardian, Emergency, Medical or Other.

Four Admission Phases

Every applicant moves through Application, Assessment, Interview and Fee Payment, so nobody has to ask where a family has reached. Each user group can be blocked from the phases it should not be changing.

Assessment Booking

Publish assessment slots with a capacity for each and let applicants pick a time as they apply. Full slots disappear on their own, and staff can still assign a date by hand when a family needs one.

Application Fee Online

Set an application fee for each educational level and collect it online as the family submits, or let families submit first and pay from their tracking page: the application reaches Applicants once it is paid. Unpaid applications are cancelled after the time you set, so the list you work stays real.

Applicant Tracking Portal

Every applicant gets a private link showing their status, timeline, scheduled dates and uploaded documents. Families settle outstanding invoices from that same page instead of phoning the admissions office.

Your Own Statuses

Define your own applicant statuses with their own colours, and change them in bulk across a whole cohort. The list sorts new applicants to the top so nothing sits unnoticed.

Track Applicant Sources

SCL records the campaign and the referring site that brought each family to your form. Marketing spend can finally be judged against applications actually received rather than guessed at.

Documents on File

Families upload supporting documents with the application, and staff add more to the record later. Everything a family sent follows the student automatically once they are enrolled.

One-Click Enrollment

Turn an accepted applicant into an enrolled student record in one click. SCL creates the parent account and family code, carries over contacts and medical details, copies the documents and moves any invoices across.

Admission Emails

Admission mail goes out from its own sender identity, separate from the rest of the school. Ready templates cover receipt, assessment booking, decisions and enrollment, and each one is editable.

Admission Reports

See the intake by grade and phase, and build your own applicant list from any field on the form. Sort it, filter it and export to Excel, CSV or PDF.

More Tools for the Admissions Team

Unpaid & Cancelled

Families who submitted but have not paid sit on one Unpaid & Cancelled list, with the time left before SCL cancels each application. Admissions staff copy a family's own payment link to send them, or move an applicant forward without the fee.

Assessment & Interview

From one Manage Schedule panel, staff set each applicant's assessment, interview and payment appointments, with live seat counts for every open sitting. Saving a future date sends the family a notice, so nobody has to phone to confirm it.

Messages to Applicants

Send To Admission emails or texts applicant families filtered by status, phase, educational level and year, straight away or at a scheduled time. A live count shows who will receive it and flags the families the chosen channel cannot reach.

Siblings Join the Family

Families with a child already at the school enter their Parent code on the form, and staff can filter applicants by Sibling. At enrollment the new student code is issued under the family's existing code, so the child joins the parent account the family already uses.

Open or Close by Level

Admission Status closes the form for the whole school behind a page the school writes itself, or single educational levels can stop taking applications while staying listed as not accepting. A full level closes without taking the whole form offline.

Conditional Questions

With Conditional Display, a question appears only when an earlier answer, the educational level or the division calls for it, and it is required only while it is shown. Families fill in a shorter form and the school still gets every detail it needs.

Printed Applications

Each application prints on the school's letterhead, with a photo box, siblings table, documents checklist, declaration and signature lines that can each be switched on or off. A blank copy is ready for families who apply in person.

Tags and Private Notes

Staff tag applicants and keep Private Notes that families never see, and the Applicants list filters by tag. The notes follow the child onto the student record at enrollment, so what the admissions team learned is not lost.

Your Review Step Notes

In the admission settings, the school writes what families should read before they submit, such as documents to bring, how to pay and what happens next. It appears in a Before you submit card on the form's last step, and families can be asked to tick that they have read it.
