Same core, Suite benefits
The Admissions module shares its engine with the standalone Admissions Engine plugin. Identical:
- Six-step application form
- Pathways (configurable program-specific rules)
- Review workflow with scoring rubrics
- Decision notifications
See the standalone docs for feature-by-feature detail. This page covers Suite-only integrations.
LMS auto-enrollment
Configure a pathway: "On Admit, enroll in LMS course X." When a reviewer issues an Admit decision, the applicant is automatically enrolled in the specified course(s) — no manual step.
Enrollment can be conditional: only on payment of the deposit, or only after acceptance within N days.
Commerce integration for fees
Application fees go through Commerce rather than a direct Stripe call. Benefits:
- Fees appear as regular orders in the Commerce dashboard
- Discount codes work (e.g., "WAIVER50" for 50% off)
- Fee waivers are first-class (mark an application "fee waived" from the reviewer side)
- Enrollment deposits are handled the same way
- Refunds go through Stripe Dashboard → Commerce picks up the webhook
CRM pipeline
Applicants become contacts in CRM the moment they start an application. They move through a pipeline:
- Started
- Submitted
- Under review
- Decision made (Admit / Waitlist / Reject / Defer)
- Accepted / Declined offer
- Enrolled
Stage transitions fire triggers — send reminder emails to incomplete applications, nudge waitlisted candidates, welcome new enrollees.
Exam integration
Pathways can include entrance exams via the Exams Suite module. Applicants complete the exam as a required step; reviewers see scores in the review dashboard.
Calendar integration
Key dates (application deadlines, decision release dates, deposit deadlines) become calendar events automatically. Applicants see them in their dashboard; their iCal subscription catches updates.
Cannot run alongside standalone
Shared database tables — install one, not both. SafeGuard enforces this.
