The Accept Invitation button will register your institution for a visit on the inviting institution’s calendar. It will also create a new, Confirmed event in your database using the settings that you entered. These settings can be updated later, just as with any other event in Slate. |

| The Decline Invitation button will remove the invitation from the invitation list and mark your institution’s invitation as declined on the inviting institution’s calendar. |
|
| The Request Registration button will send your visit request to the host school. The hosting school must approve the registration. A new tentative event will be added to your database using the settings that you entered. These settings can be updated later, just as with any other events in Slate. |

Creating a New Event
Click a visit to open the New Event popup. This should look familiar because it has the same settings as other events in Slate, including the ability to assign the event to a user, trip, and template.
Complete all required fields, including details, location, description, registration settings, and notes.
Event Statuses
Your Slate events remain synced with the most recent details from Slate.org. If your registration is approved, your event in Slate will be updated to Confirmed to reflect this update. Likewise, if your visit is canceled or your registration is declined, your event in Slate will be updated to Declined.
Confirmed: Approved requests
Tentative: Registration requests that are pending approval
Cancelled/Declined: Declined requests or Cancelled visits
Email notifications are sent to the primary user associated with the event upon any status change.
Like any other event in Slate, you can access the registration page for each event scheduled through Slate.org. The host contact information appears next to Contact Institution. You can send an email to the host school by clicking the linked name.
Important!
The host school sets the registration deadlines for events scheduled through Slate.org. You must contact the host school directly if you need to change your registration after that deadline.Organization Records
Organization records have been updated to include access to Slate.org events! Organization records with Slate.org accounts will display the number of events that your institution can attend, along with a link to view the specific events.
Want to know more information before signing up for a visit? School counselors can upload their school profile through Slate.org, which can be accessed directly from the organization record.
If an organization is not yet participating in Slate.org, send an invitation directly from the organization page to a school counselor affiliated with the organization.
