What makes universities different
A university may run hundreds of programmes across several faculties, with separate admission rules, assessment regulations and calendars. Central functions (admissions, registry, finance and IT) need one view of the institution, while faculties need to run their own processes without waiting on central teams.

Frequently asked questions
Can each faculty configure its own admission process?
Yes, that is the plan. Faculties can have programme-specific forms, criteria and reviewer workflows within institution-wide standards and permissions.
Can a university keep its existing SIS?
