PORTAL Web Services bridges iR PORTAL and the school web site for online inquiries, applications and notifications; providing a seamless online admission solution.

• transferring data to PORTAL without re-typing

Online Applications

Your office can manage all online applications through a subscription to handle all family application requirements:

• secure applicant accounts
• online applications submission
• online admission decision posting
• online fee and deposit payments

Notifications

Throughout the admissions season you can notify your applicants and their families of process status such as receipt of required forms. In addition, you can publish your decisions to the web. Applicants have a secure login to this information.
