Public catalogue and online applications

On the Institution plan you can publish your programmes on your own subdomain and accept applications, either through a ready-made form or from your own website.

  1. 1

    Turn on your admissions settings

    Open Settings → Admissions. Switch on the public catalogue, choose what happens once a class is full, optionally set how many days before a year starts applications close, and decide whether teachers may review applications.

  2. 2

    Mark programmes as public

    Open a programme → Settings tab and switch on List in public catalogue for every programme you want prospective students to see. Keep each year open for intake, and set a start date if you use the early-close window.

  3. 3

    Read your catalogue from your own website

    Your developer can call GET /api/catalogue?subdomain=your-school to list your public programmes and the academic years that are open. Inactive years, years that have already ended, and years past the early-close window are left out. No key is needed while the catalogue is switched on.

  4. 4

    Create an admissions key

    In Settings → Admissions, create an admissions key. The secret is shown only once, so store it on your own server and never in a web page.

  5. 5

    Send applications from your own website

    POST /api/admissions/applications with Authorization: Bearer ak_… and the same fields as the ready-made application form. Your institution is identified by the key itself, so never send an institution reference from the browser. Years that are closed reply with VERSION_NOT_OPEN (403).
