The paper trail, digitised properly

Academic documents carry weight: transcripts, certificates, identity proofs and recommendation letters. They need to be collected reliably, checked by the right person, stored safely and shared only with authorised recipients.

Acadlytic is designed to replace email attachments and shared drives with a structured document workflow linked to each applicant or student record.

Planned document workflow

  1. Request

    Required documents are listed per programme or process, and applicants or students upload them from their portal.

  2. Verify

    Staff review each document against a checklist; status and reviewer are recorded. Document intelligence can pre-check type and legibility.

  3. Store

    Documents are stored with access by role, retention rules and version history.

  4. Share

    Issue certificates and transcripts electronically, with expiring links and access logs.

Planned controls

File validation

Allowed formats and size limits are enforced on upload, and files are checked before storage.

Access by role

Only authorised staff can open sensitive documents.

Expiring links

Shared documents use time-limited links rather than attachments.

Audit trail

Every view, download and share is recorded.

Frequently asked questions

Which file types can students upload?

Institutions choose the allowed formats and size limits for each document type, and uploads are checked before storage.
