No credit card required • 14-day free trial • Setup in 5 minutes
Students and parents don't know what's happening unless you tell them. And they'll keep asking until you do.
Students and parents constantly email asking for updates you've already provided.
"I can't find the essay you sent me" or "Can you resend that recommendation letter?"
Students don't track deadlines properly and miss important submission dates.
Panicked calls at 9pm because students can't remember what they're supposed to be working on.
Parents ask their student what's happening, student doesn't know, parent emails you.
Information scattered across emails, texts, phone calls, and shared docs.
Give students and parents 24/7 access to their information so they can help themselves—and you can focus on higher-value work.
Students see exactly where they stand with each college application. No more "How many essays do I have left?" emails.
Never resend a document again. Everything is organized, searchable, and accessible 24/7.
Students see upcoming deadlines the moment they log in. No spreadsheets, no calendar confusion.
Keep all conversations in one place instead of scattered across email, text, and phone calls.
Students always know what to do next. No more "What should I be working on?" questions.
Give parents read-only access so they can see progress without asking you or their student for updates.
A parent emails you: "Did Sarah finish her Common App essay?" You check your notes, reply. 10 minutes later, Sarah texts you the same question. You reply again.
Sarah and her parents log in and instantly see: Common App Essay – Draft 3 Submitted.
Result: Zero interruptions to your day.
You send a student a checklist via email. Two weeks later: "I can't find that list you sent." You dig through sent messages and resend.
Every task, deadline, and checklist lives in the portal. Students check off items as they go. You see real-time updates.
Result: No more "I didn't know I had to do that" excuses.
It's early decision deadline week. You're fielding panicked calls: "When is the Duke deadline? Do I need to submit my letter of rec?" Chaos.
Deadline reminders go out automatically. Students see a live countdown for each school. Letters of rec show Submitted or Pending.
Result: Calm, organized students. Fewer fires for you to put out.
A parent calls: "We need the financial aid form you mentioned last month." You're not at your desk. You say you'll send it later. You forget. They follow up.
All forms, resources, and documents live in the Document Vault. Families download what they need, whenever they need it.
Result: No more "Can you resend that?" requests.
"The client portal cut my administrative emails by at least 70%. Students find everything themselves now, and parents can check in without bothering me or their kids. It's honestly the feature I couldn't live without at this point."
