Traveler Applications and Forms

As an Administrator in Via, you might be reviewing Traveler applications and forms. Both are easy to review on screen in Via, or you can export reports from Via to review applications or forms in bulk on a CSV file.
Click the links below for more detailed information on the workflows you might use as part of the enrollment process on your campus.

Add Forms to Travelers


Admins with permission can add general forms to Travelers. This can be helpful if there is specific information you need from a select few Travelers on your program or if you want Travelers to receive this form outside of a standard workflow. If you want all Travelers to receive forms when their application status changes to either Committed, Approved, Conditionally Approved or Nominated, you will either add the general form to the desired term in batch or one at a time in Program Settings.


Events

As an Administrator in Via, you may have permission to create events, invite Travelers to events and/or manage events. If you do, check out the workflows below for detailed information on how to manage events and event participants.
