We are very excited to announce that we are rebranding the student Dashboard as your new Home page. With a fresh look and feel, simply find the Home page on the left-hand menu.
Search Bar
The global search bar at the top of your dashboard allows you to effortlessly search for universities, events hosted by the universities on your lists, and courses offered by various institutions you are interested in, streamlining your search process.
Profile
The "Profile" option on the Home page allows you to input essential details such as personal information, application specifics, university preferences, test scores, contact information, and extracurricular activities, while also displaying your assigned counselor; the more comprehensive your profile, the stronger your application and higher likelihood of university acceptance.
The student profile will also show the number of applications added to the student's various lists and the universities applied to.

Recommended Universities
What if you have yet to begin your university application and you're not sure where to start? Or if you have begun your search but would like to see what are the other possibilities the world has to offer? Look no further!
Under the Personalized Recommendations section, take a peek at the different universities in regions that you are interested in applying to and explore the endless options available. These recommendations for universities are based on information that you have included on the platform to provide you with better options for a good fit. You may now edit your preference fit by clicking on the Edit icon in the top right corner of this section.
Discovery Center & Career
To discover careers that match your academic fit and preferences, you may look through the Suggested Careers for You section. From here, you could gain in-depth knowledge about the different careers that match your profile and find universities that offer courses for that career.
Careers are suggested to students based on Academic Fit and Saved careers. If there is no data available for a student, careers are shown based on the top saved careers for the country/region
Clicking on the “View All” link in the suggested careers section will bring you to a summary view.
In the summary view, you can choose from a number of filters:
Industry

Saved – this is where all the careers that a student saves will be shown

Recent updates and improvements
Repositioned "Update Now" Button on Profile Pages
Previously, the "Update now" or edit entry points on student profile sections (Profile, Academics, and related areas) were scattered across the page in subtle locations, making them easy to miss. This led to confusion about how to edit each section.
Each editable section now has a single, clearly visible "Update now" button positioned in the top-right corner of that section. This is the primary entry point for editing that section. The change applies consistently across Profile, Academics, and all related editable sections, making it immediately obvious how to update any piece of information.
Work Type Field- Standardised Values
The Work Type field, used when recording work experience on a student's profile, had inconsistent or non-standardised values in some cases. The field values have been standardised to ensure consistency across all student records and to support cleaner data exports and reporting.
If you previously entered work experience with a custom or non-standard Work Type value, those records are preserved and are not affected by this change. New entries will be guided by the standardised dropdown options going forward.
Tip: If you are a counselor reviewing a student's profile, the "Update now" button at the top-right of each section is your go-to for editing. If a section does not show an "Update now" button, it may be read-only for counselors- in that case, the student must update it directly from their own profile.
Result Count & Loading Fix
An issue where the result count on the content listing page did not match the number of displayed items. In some cases, the page continued showing a loading spinner indefinitely even after all visible content had loaded.
This issue was caused by a mismatch between the API result count and the rendered content list. The displayed count and loading behaviour now work correctly and consistently.
Note: If you still experience incorrect result counts, loading issues, or layout problems, try refreshing the page or performing a hard refresh:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + R
Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
If the issue persists, contact Cialfo Support via Live Chat.
