Read on below for some great, time-saving new features just released on the platform.
Automating your Tasks
As you know, it is no longer mandatory to check off tasks before you submit an institution application and also at the visa stage.
We have now automated the tasks at other stages where you normally would have had to check off tasks. This saves time, makes the process smoother and reduces any unnecessary steps in the process.
The tasks at the following described stages will automatically be checked off by the system. This means you no longer need to check these off when the relevant activities have been completed.
(Tasks for Step 2) Submitting an institution application
Even though checking off the tasks is not mandatory before submitting your student's application, you will notice that the task list is now greyed out. This is because the system will automatically cross out tasks as you move through the process of shortlisting courses, completing the application, uploading documents and so on.
(Tasks for Step 5) Upload of Acceptance Documents
After submitting the application and application review you need to download the offer and upload Acceptance documents. Previously, you needed to manually check off tasks at the acceptance stage before the application could move to the next stage.
Now, the system automatically checks off these tasks as soon as one or more documents are uploaded in the Acceptance Documents section of Document Manager. This will automatically move the student to the next step in the process - review of visa suitability by our Global Admissions team.
(Tasks for Step 7) Upload any remaining acceptance documents and payment of course fee
After the review of visa suitability, you would normally upload any other acceptance documents, the student would need to pay the course fee and you need to upload evidence of payment. Once these tasks were completed, you were required to manually check off the relevant tasks.
Now, these tasks are automatically checked off by the system as soon as you upload the proof of payment receipt (under the document type Financial:Payment Receipt) found under Additional Acceptance Documents in Document Manager. This will automatically move the student to the next step in the process - lodging of acceptance documents and receipt of confirmation of enrolment (CoE/LOACAS/i20).
(Tasks for Step 9) Download of Enrolment Confirmation
Previously you needed to check off tasks after downloading the enrolment confirmation before completing the visa stage. These tasks are now greyed out indicating they will be checked off automatically by the system. 
The system automatically checks these tasks off automatically when you download the confirmation of enrolment (document type: CoE/LOACAS/i20) found in the Offer & Confirmation Documents section of Document Manager.
You can then proceed to collect and upload all the required visa documents for your student’s visa application.
Note that the tasks listed at the visa stage are for reference only and do not need to be manually checked off.
Passport Number Field in Student Profile
As part of the student profile creation process you can now add in your student’s passport number. This makes for a handy reference when collecting information for their application. This field is not mandatory for completing the student profile.
