1 minuteStudents use Xello to research the schools they’re interested in. Once they’ve decided on the institutions they’ll apply to, they create applications and monitor action items and deadlines in their application tracker.
From your educator account in Xello, run reports to view the progress of student applications. Use the information in the reports to plan visits with college representatives, create student groups, or send messages based on the schools students are applying to.
