Slate.org is a free platform used by college counselors to:

• View applicant progress and decision information

• Upload materials to student applications

• Update and share school profile information

• Manage and approve new users

This guide is meant to provide a general overview of navigating Slate.org.

Creating an account

Register for an Account at slate.org/connect/login.

Account Approval

(College, Community Organization, and High School users)

Before you can view student data in Slate.org, your identity must be verified through one of the following methods:

• An Active Administrative user at your School can approve new Slate.org accounts.

• Technolutions staff will verify your Name, Email, Role and Organization affiliation through a form you will receive in your email. You will need to provide a URL to a staff directory, or a pdf of your School Profile or business card.

Home

Go to Home in the navigation bar to view recent updates to applications, newly released decisions, and recently viewed students and colleges.

Profile 

Go to Profile in the navigation bar to update your school profile and manage users associated with your school's Slate.org account.

Manage Connected Staff

Manage users at your institution, including adding new users, resetting passwords for existing users, or inactivating users who are no longer at your institution. 

If any users are pending approval, click their name and either approve or decline their access. You can also enable specific permissions.

Students

Go to Students in the navigation toolbar to see a list of your students, the number of shared applications on file and their graduation year. 

How are names added to the Students Tab?

Students are populated within the student tab in a number of ways:

• Students are automatically populated when they apply to a university that is sharing active data on Slate.org

• Students are populated because they have applied to a university sharing outdated data on Slate.org

• Students have been manually added by a counselor

Applications

Universities that use Slate.org to share application data may choose to customize this information to align with their process. Available application information may be viewed within the Applications tab. Note that each row represents one application, not one applicant. Decisions can be downloaded by clicking the Excel icon, provided the user has been granted the the “Download Student Data” permission.

Colleges  

The Colleges section of Slate.org will show you a list of the colleges and universities that use Slate for undergraduate admissions, their location, their application sharing status, and the number of shared applications for students at your school.
