We are delighted to unveil the relaunch of our platform for this application cycle, featuring exciting new user interfaces tailored for both counselors and students, aimed at elevating your overall experience. This article aims at explaining the Student's homepage, how to navigate to different features and utilize the platform.
Counselors can follow these steps to enter into students window: Go to the Students tab, search for the student and click on the student's name. This action will direct you to the student's home page, where you can access and explore their information.
Navigating the Student's Home page
After entering the student's view, the counselor will find the Student's Homepage on the left navigation menu. If the counselor wants to switch to the next student's view, they can conveniently use the next arrow option located at the top left corner. Counselor can also exit the student view from there.
Search Bar
The counselors can use the global search bar at the top of the Home page to effortlessly search for universities, students on the platform, events hosted by the universities and courses offered by various institutions thus streamlining the search process.
Profile
The "Student Profile" card on the Home page allows the counselors to edit essential details such as personal information of the student, application specifics, university preferences, test scores, contact information, and extracurricular activities, while also displaying the student's assigned counselor. The counselors can understand where a student's profile stands by looking at the "Profile Strength". The more information a student profile has stronger the application and the higher likelihood of university acceptance. This card also shows the number of applications added to student's different lists either by the student's counselor or by the students themselves.
Note: The counselors cannot edit the student's contact number as an OTP is sent to verify the number.
Note: The counselors should be aware that the students cannot make any changes to the student's profile unless they have been given permission to do so. To grant the students, access to edit their information, the counselors can navigate to the "Configurations" page by clicking on the 3 lines and scrolling down to the "Student Connectivity" tab.
