Benefits

Automate your admission approvals

Move applications from "submitted" to "accepted" without manual work. Use Jotform Workflows to create an automated workflow for your admission committee. New applications can be routed to the right people for review. Reviewers can then approve or deny the application, triggering an automatic email to notify the candidate of your decision.

Manage all applicants in one place

Stop tracking applications in email inboxes or complex spreadsheets. Every submission from your admission form automatically populates Jotform Tables, a powerful database-spreadsheet hybrid. You can search, sort, and filter candidates, view uploaded documents, and track their application status from one central dashboard.

Collect application fees securely

Make it easy for applicants to pay their fees. The admission form generator integrates with more than {gatewayCount} trusted payment providers, including Stripe, PayPal, and Square. You can add an application fee, calculate totals automatically, and collect payments directly on your form.

Gather e-signatures on enrollment forms

When an applicant is accepted, you often need signed agreements. Our admission form generator works directly with Jotform Sign. You can add a signature field to your forms to collect secure e-signatures on policy documents, enrollment contracts, or parent/guardian consent forms.

Build a custom application portal

Bundle all your resources into one simple application for your candidates. With Jotform Apps, you can build a no-code mobile app for your institution. Include your admission form, an FAQ section, links to program details, and important deadlines. Applicants can access everything from their phone or desktop, creating a professional experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

All your questions about Jotform — answered. Check out our FAQs for answers to common questions, or contact our support team for further information.

What is an admission form generator?

An admission form generator is an online tool that allows you to create and customize digital application forms. Instead of relying on paper forms or PDF downloads, a generator lets you build a web-based form that applicants can fill out and submit directly from their computer or phone. These tools are used by schools, colleges, universities, and private programs to collect applicant data, such as personal information, academic history, and supporting documents. Using a generator like Jotform also makes it easy to organize, review, and manage all incoming applications.

How do I create an admission form?

You can create an admission form in just a few minutes with Jotform. After creating a free account, you can choose one of three ways to start. You can select a pre-built admission template, build a form from scratch using the drag-and-drop editor, or describe the form you need to our AI Form Builder. From there, you can add fields for names, essays, and file uploads. You can also connect payment gateways for application fees. Once your form is ready, you can share it with a link or embed it directly onto your school's website.

Can I collect application fees with my admission form?

Yes, you can securely collect application fees directly on your admission form. Jotform integrates with over {gatewayCount} major payment processors, including Stripe, PayPal, and Square. You can add a payment field to your form, connect your account, and set the fee amount. When an applicant fills out the form, they will be prompted to pay before they can submit their application. This is a secure and efficient way to handle fees, and you can easily track payment status for every applicant in Jotform Tables.

How can I review and approve applications?

Jotform provides a complete system for managing your admission workflow. When a candidate submits your form, you can use Jotform Workflows to automate the review process. You can set up a flow that automatically sends the application to a single reviewer or an entire committee. Reviewers can then read the application, view attachments, and vote to "approve" or "deny" the candidate. You can even set up automatic emails that notify the applicant of their status change, saving your team valuable time.

Is it possible to collect supporting documents like transcripts or essays?

Yes, our admission form generator makes it easy to collect supporting documents. You can use the "File Upload" field to allow applicants to attach files directly to their application. This is ideal for collecting transcripts, letters of recommendation, essays, portfolios, or personal identification. All uploaded files are stored securely and are easily accessible next to the applicant's other information in Jotform Tables.

Are the forms created with the generator secure?

Security is a top priority, especially when handling sensitive student data. All forms created with Jotform are served over a secure 256-bit SSL connection. We are PCI friendly, which provides security for collecting payments. For users who need to comply with healthcare privacy regulations, we also offer HIPAA-friendly features. Your submission data is stored in secure data centers, and you have full control over who can access it. This provides peace of mind for both you and your applicants.

Can I use this for university and college admissions?

Absolutely. The admission form generator is scalable and powerful enough for universities and colleges. You can create detailed, multi-page forms with conditional logic (e.g., showing different questions for different majors). You can also integrate your form with other tools, like Google Drive or Dropbox, to automatically send copies of supporting documents. For the final enrollment step, you can use Jotform Sign to get legally-binding electronic signatures on enrollment agreements, financial aid forms, and housing contracts.

Can I create reports on my admission data?

Yes, understanding your applicant pool is important. All your submission data is collected in Jotform Tables, but you can also visualize it with Jotform Reports. With just a few clicks, you can generate visual reports, charts, and graphs. This can help you see applicant demographics, track how many applications are in each stage of the review process, or see a breakdown of incoming application fees. These reports are presentation-ready and can be easily shared with your admission committee or stakeholders.

How can I create mobile-friendly admission forms?

Use Jotform Apps to turn your admission form into a mobile app. Students and parents can complete and submit forms from their phones or tablets, and you’ll receive all submissions instantly.
