Let families ask the admissions questions instead of searching the handbook

School sites are long because the answers are real: who can apply, what it costs, which documents, when the open day is, whether an international student can apply. Parents and students do not fail to care. They fail to find the paragraph.

WebsiteChat answers from the public admissions pages you connect, and from text-selectable PDFs such as a fee schedule on eligible plans. It does not sit inside an admissions system or decide who is accepted.

Admissions facts are spread across a site parents will not finish

This page is for schools, colleges, and school-type institutions. A weekend class or a hobby course is a different site, with a different next step.

Open days and deadlines move, and the old PDF lingers

Families will trust whichever date they find first. The crawl has to prefer the page you currently stand behind.

Tuition, scholarships, and “other fees” are easy to blur

A headline tuition number without the scholarship rules reads like a promise. The assistant has to keep the conditions attached.

Eligibility and document lists are written for staff

Applicants ask in plain language: transcripts, language scores, whether a mid-year start exists. The mapping only works if the page says it.

International families cannot tell policy from hospitality

“We welcome overseas students” is not the same as an application route, a visa note, or an English-language program. Quote the route you published.

What applicants and parents ask while comparing schools

These are admissions questions. They are not “can I try one class on Tuesday?”

  • When is the open campus day?
  • Which documents do I need to apply?
  • How much is tuition?
  • Can an international student apply?
  • Do you offer scholarships?
  • What are the entry requirements?
  • Is there a campus tour besides the open day?
  • When is the application deadline?

Let them ask the admissions pages instead of hunting them

The shift is from “download everything” to “ask the question,” using only what the school has published.

Crawl the admissions cluster, not only the homepage

Programs, fees, dates, document lists, campus facilities you describe for applicants, and international admissions pages.

Add the current fee or scholarship PDF

On eligible plans, a text-selectable file can be a source. Remove last year’s file so an old deadline cannot be repeated.

Answer with the condition still attached

If a scholarship requires a separate form, the reply includes that. It does not say the student will receive it.

Point to the inquiry or application path you publish

The chat can send families to the form, the open-day signup, or the admissions office. It does not submit an application or store a student record.

Offers, scholarships, and eligibility stay with the school

Published rules can be explained. Decisions cannot be made in the widget.

  • Do not say an applicant qualifies, or that they will be admitted
  • Do not promise a scholarship amount or that aid will be awarded
  • Do not invent a program, a start date, or a document that is not on the site
  • Do not give visa or immigration advice beyond a page the school actually published

The search that happens before an open day

Families are trying to decide whether this institution is even in the set. The application decision stays with admissions.

A parent who missed the date on the poster

The reply uses the current open-day page, including how to register if you published that step.

Comparing tuition with another school

Only your published fees are quoted, with the notes about other charges. No “you will pay about” estimate.

An overseas applicant checking the route

If the international page lists who may apply and which documents differ, that is the answer. A welcome sentence alone is not a route.

A scholarship question with a condition

The reply names the published scheme and the condition. Awarding it is an admissions act, not a chat reply.

Crawl the admissions site, then ask like a parent

If two pages list two dates, fix that before you judge the assistant.

  1. 01

    Create the school site

    Use the institution name families search for.

  2. 02

    Crawl admissions, fees, and program pages

    Include the international section if you want those questions answered.

  3. 03

    Replace, don’t stack, the fee PDF

    Keep the current text-selectable schedule. Drop the previous year.

  4. 04

    Set a greeting for applicants and parents

    Invite questions about dates, documents, and published fees. Say decisions are made by the school.

  5. 05

    Install it where the handbook starts

    Admissions and program pages, not only the news footer.

  6. 06

    Test an eligibility question

    It should quote requirements and refuse to say “you are in.”

Finding the open-day date without reading the whole handbook

The sample stays on the published date and does not imply a place is reserved.

WC Admissions questions

When is the open campus, and can my child apply from overseas?

The admissions page lists the next open campus on 18 October and says registration is on that same page. The international section says overseas applicants may apply with the documents listed there. That is not an offer of admission.

Admissions page

Type a message… Send

A school site is not a course catalog

Document lists and date questions are FAQ work spread across too many URLs.

An open-day signup or an admissions inquiry is lead generation. The chat does not file the application.

Families asking in another language still need the same dates. See multilingual support.

Short courses, monthly fees, and trial lessons belong on the training and courses page.

What can be used as a source is explained in the website chatbot overview.

Admissions answers that still need a person

Can it tell a family they meet the entry requirements?
No. It can list the published requirements. Eligibility and offers are decisions for the school.
Will it quote tuition?
Yes, when the figure is on a page or a text-selectable PDF you connected, including the notes that travel with it. It should not estimate a package you did not publish.
Can it say a scholarship will be granted?
No. It can describe the scheme and the conditions on the site. The award is a school decision.
Our open day date changed. Which page wins?
The pages currently connected. Remove or update the old PDF and recrawl so yesterday’s date is not still a source.
Does it submit the application?
No. It points to the application or inquiry path you published. It is not an admissions database.
How is this different from a training school page?
Schools are about entry, documents, tuition, and open days. A course business is about a trial, a monthly fee, and whether a missed class can be made up.

Ask the questions families send to admissions

Connect the admissions pages and test an open day, a document list, and a question that must not become an offer.
