Applications and admissions

Have people apply for a course or training, then review and accept them yourself.

For trainings and programs where you choose who joins. With applications on, a course’s public page shows an Apply button instead of enrolling people straight away. You read each application and decide.

Turn on applications for a course

  1. Build your questions first in Marketing > Forms. Use a long-answer field for essay questions. See Make a form.
  2. Open Selling > Courses and click the course.
  3. Switch on Applications.
  4. Choose the Application form. Pick “No questions” if you only need a name and email.
  5. Optional: set an Application fee. Leave it at 0 for none.

An Apply button now shows on the course’s public page.

Review applications

  1. Open Selling > Applications. It opens on Needs review. Use the filter to see Waitlisted, Accepted, Rejected or All.
  2. Click Review on an application to read their answers.
  3. Optional: add a Private note about your decision. Only you see it.
  4. Click Accept & enrol, Waitlist or Decline.

Good to know

  • Paying the application fee never accepts anyone. The fee and your decision are separate.
  • Accepting someone into a paid course creates their enrollment, but they still pay the course price before the lessons open. Acceptance isn’t free access.
  • Accepting someone a second time doesn’t create a second enrollment.
  • Each application shows whether its fee is paid.
  • An application fee needs Stripe. See Connect Stripe to take card payments.
  • Want to give someone a place for free? See Enroll students by hand.
  • Applications are part of ColibriOS Pro. See The Free plan and ColibriOS Pro.
