Our dedicated online portal makes it easier for our approved recruitment partners and agents to manage their students' applications. Within the portal you will be able to:
Submit new applications.
Manage submitted applications.
Upload supporting documents.
Contact Admissions.
Track decisions.
Accept offers on behalf of your applicants.
We have a comprehensive guide for users, which takes you through all of the functional areas in detail:
Please pay careful attention to the below best practice advice from our GDPR team:
Check to make sure you are providing information and documents for the correct applicant when submitting an application, or uploading documents post submission.
Providing information or documents for a different applicant will mean that the application will be delayed, Cranfield could see data it shouldn’t see, and the applicant may see someone else’s information and documents, which could lead to identity theft.
Make sure the information in an application is accurate, incorrect information could mean the application is delayed or lost.
Do not share passwords or login details within your agency. This shows poor management in the agency and prevents tracing of errors to specific users.
Ensure all IT services and systems are supported, fully-patched and running the latest versions of software, and that access is protected by multi-factor authentication (where possible).
We continue to want to work closely with you to ensure that we all understand our responsibilities and protect the interests of our students. If you have any questions about processing personal data contact your Cranfield International Representative or gdpr@cranfield.ac.uk.
