Admissions,
owned end to end
For most education partners, admissions is a liability — identity checks, qualification review, legal contracts, and eligibility rules they are not equipped to run. Woolf turns it into a product. The partner invites the learner; Woolf hosts the entire journey and stands behind it as the accredited institution of record.
- Identity verification
- Qualification review
- Binding enrollment contract
- Three admission pathways
Woolf certifies that Daniel R. Brooks has enrolled as a student at Udacity Institute of AI & Technology, a constituent college of Woolf, which is a licensed Higher Education Institution in Europe.
Every student completes one Woolf-hosted onboarding wizard.
Five steps stand between an invitation and an active enrollment. The partner's only job is to invite the learner — everything downstream is Woolf, from identity to the signed contract.
Welcome
The Woolf-hosted welcome and orientation.
Identity
Government-ID verification through Persona.
Qualification
Pathway is chosen and reviewed by Woolf.
Motivation
The learner states their goals and intent.
Agreement
The legally binding three-part contract.
Approval gate
Identity and qualification must both be complete before the application can be submitted, and the college admin or academic board makes the final approval decision.
Goes active on approval
An application moves PENDING → SUBMITTED → ACTIVE. On approval the student becomes active and is enrolled.
The partner's only job: invite the learner
Invite one learner directly from the AMS.
Upload a list to onboard a whole cohort at once.
Programmatic enrollment through the Airlock API.
Enroll the qualified, the experienced, and the unproven — in one compliant flow.
Admissions is not one-size-fits-all. A college can choose how each learner enters without ever stepping outside Woolf's regulated pipeline.
Standard admission
The conventionally qualified
RPL for Admission
The experienced but uncredentialed
Performance Based Admission
The prove-it-through-performance learner
A real institution stands behind every enrollment.
Woolf is the accredited HEI (license 2019-015). The student's contract is with Woolf and its college, and admission is sealed by a legally binding, three-document package that Woolf generates and stores.
The Woolf Agreement
Between Woolf — the accredited Higher Education Institution — and the student.
The College Agreement
Between the Woolf college and the student.
Program Enrollment Agreement
Enrollment terms, tuition, and program details.
Signing is not admission. The agreements take effect only when countersigned by the college, and the academic board determines admission. This cleanly separates the two roles in the relationship.
The college
Delivers instruction and decides admission against its published criteria, through the academic board.
Woolf
Holds the accreditation, runs the verification pipeline, executes the contract, and keeps the regulatory record.
One funnel, three constituencies served.
For partners
A compliant admissions operation — identity, qualification, contracts, and eligibility — delivered as an embedded product, with Woolf as the institution of record. No need to become a university.
For students
Flexible, real routes in — by credential, experience, or performance — each backed by an accredited institution and a clear, legally binding contract.
For investors
Owning admission means owning the top of the academic funnel and the legal relationship with every learner. Three pathways widen the market without loosening compliance, and the contract plus verification stack is hard to replicate.
Give learners a real way in — without becoming a university.
Invite the learner and let Woolf host the rest: identity, qualification, the binding contract, and academic-board approval — all under the accreditation of an established institution of record.
