CollegeNET Introduces Admit Application Evaluation System
PORTLAND, Ore. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CollegeNET,
Inc., a provider of Web-based, on-demand technologies, today
announced the Admit
application evaluation system, CollegeNET's new software-as-a-service
(SaaS) tool that manages the entire application evaluation process from
submission through decision. More than a simple electronic viewing tool,
Admit is a secure Web-based service that enables all authorized
personnel to evaluate applications and record their comments and scores
directly to the application file from anywhere there is internet access.
According to Patricia Summers, CollegeNET vice president of marketing:
"With five major universities already committed to using Admit, this is
the fastest pre-release uptake of any new SaaS service we've introduced."
At many colleges and universities, application evaluation involves a
complex and inefficient process of filing, copying and hand circulating
each student application for review. The Admit system saves time, paper
and energy, and eliminates the risk of misplaced or overlooked documents
by automatically attaching each application to the applicant's letters
of recommendation, transcripts, portfolio and other supporting
materials. The system ensures that all authorized viewers see and
comment on a single set of application materials for each applicant, and
encourages collaboration by making all reviewers' comments and applicant
scores visible to authorized viewers. It also makes evaluation more
convenient for reviewers, who can now access applications whenever they
choose.
The Admit application evaluation system automatically sorts applications
and creates application pools - routing each application to the
appropriate department or group on campus. It enables reviewers to
easily locate individual applications using filtered search and other
functions, according to their specifications. The system integrates
fully with CollegeNET Contact
Management, Application
Processing and Applicant
Portal tools.
"CollegeNET is focused on improving convenience and efficiency in the
application evaluation process," said Ms. Summers. "With the new Admit
tool, authorized viewers can access the database at any time from home,
office or out-of-town; they can view side-by-side comparisons of
applications and have multiple rounds of reviews."
