Direct Admission Applications are those where applicants apply directly to the institution for Admission to a Course or Units. Precisely how these details are recorded in Callista is determined by the institution. The institution's specialist user(s) are able to configure the Admission process to suit the specific Admission practices of the institution. Admissions for the Subsystem Specialist provides details of this setup The information provided here and for related forms is for a 'typical' setup.

This form is dynmaic. This means, depending whether or not the user has selected HE, VET or VET-HE in GENF0006 depends on what buttons are displayed. For example, VET Statistics button (and its appropriate link) would not be seen in 'HE'.

New Applications

Typically, Admission applications are received for an Admission Period and are sorted according to type of application. For example, they may be sorted into Award/Non-award, Postgraduate /Undergraduate, Fee paying /Student Contribution Amount, Domestic/International, or similar groupings to match the Admission process categories used by the institution. The applications are processed in these groups.

This form is the starting point in processing the applications. Personal details of applicants are recorded here and in forms accessed via the displayed buttons. Which buttons are displayed depends on how the specialist users have setup each of the Admission process categories specified in the session details.

The session details are set, for each group of sorted Admission applications, by the user.

Note: Callista validates Course Application Data against the Admission Category specified in the session details so that, for example, only courses associated with the Admission Category can be recorded for the application.
