Offers, acceptance & waitlist

After assessment, the school decides: make an offer, hold the applicant on a waitlist, or decline. EduPrime issues offer letters, tracks acceptances and manages the waitlist so you fill every place without over-committing.

Where to find it — App drawer → Admissions → Offers.

Offers, acceptance & waitlist in EduPrime.

Making an offer

  1. Open the application (it should carry an Admit recommendation) and advance it to the Offer stage.
  2. Confirm the offered class/stream and the intake term.
  3. Generate the offer letter – EduPrime fills in the student's details, the class, any conditions (e.g. documents still due) and the acceptance deadline.
  4. Send it to the family by email, or download and print it.
Tip — Always set an acceptance deadline on the offer. Offers without a deadline tie up places indefinitely and stop you releasing them to waitlisted families.

Acceptance & decline

When the family accepts, move the card to Accepted. This signals the place is taken and the applicant is ready for enrolment. If the family declines – or the deadline passes – mark the offer declined/lapsed with a reason; the place frees up for the waitlist.

Important — Accepted is not Enrolled. An accepted applicant still needs to be converted into an SIS student before they appear on class lists or get invoiced. See Enrolling an accepted applicant – do not assume Accepted students will be billed automatically.

Managing the waitlist

When a class is full but an applicant is strong, place them on the waitlist rather than declining. The waitlist is an ordered holding list per class:

Waitlist expiresNotify the family the intake is closed; archive the record.

When an accepted applicant declines or an enrolled student withdraws before term, return to the waitlist and make an offer to the next family in line – the pipeline keeps the order so you are fair and fast.

Tip — Keep the waitlist honest. Tell families their position and the realistic odds. A transparent waitlist preserves goodwill even when you cannot offer a place.
