ITS Infinity is Adapt IT Education’s online student application system. It lets prospective students submit an application, upload documents, pay the application fee, and track their application status in one place.
The system checks key details, assigns a student number, and sends tasks to the right admissions staff. It is the online application process that feeds clean, accurate data into core academic records.
Key Features for Applicants and Institutions
ITS Infinity replaces manual or email-based intake with a secure, consistent online application process. The 3 core features for both applicants and institutions include:
- Secure, Consistent Online Application Process
ITS Infinity replaces manual or email-based intake with a single online application process. This reduces data capture errors and duplicated records from the start of the student lifecycle.
- Direct Write‑Back to The Student Information System
Approved applications write directly into the student information system, which cuts down on rekeying and speeds up offers. This helps ensure that academic year and programme data are correct from the outset.
- Clear Guidance for Prospective Students
Applicants see clear step‑by‑step instructions, document checklists, and real‑time updates on application status. This helps prospective students understand what to do next and reduces calls to the admissions office.
How ITS Infinity Works
ITS Infinity connects directly to the student information system to create applicant and student records for the correct academic year and programme. Once eligibility checks are complete, the data becomes part of the permanent academic records.
The system links to the ERP to handle application fee payments and receipting. Payments are automatically matched to the correct applicant and student number. Programme and capacity rules can be pulled from timetabling and curriculum data, so applicants only see options that match admission rules and available spaces.
When students are admitted, ITS Infinity supports a smooth handover to the LMS for onboarding content and early engagement. Reporting tools then consume application and conversion data for planning and forecasting.
Using APIs, ITS Infinity enables secure data flow to identity management for provisional accounts and to communication tools for notifications and reminders. Its cloud‑ready design supports very high volumes during peak application windows without slowing down the online application process.
Examples of How ITS Infinity Is Used
Below are 5 practical examples of how institutions use ITS Infinity in their online application process.
1. Student applications with document upload and tracking: Prospective students complete their applications online, upload required documents, and see their application status in real time. The system validates details and flags missing items before the application is submitted.
2. Application fee payments linked to the ERP: Applicants pay the application fee online. Payments are receipted automatically in the ERP and allocated to the correct student number, so finance teams do not need to reconcile manual records.
3. Automatic student number creation and SIS updates: Once eligibility checks pass, ITS Infinity creates or confirms a student number and writes the approved data directly into the student information system. This reduces manual data entry and avoids duplicate academic records.
4. Programme choice guidance and entry rules: The application process guides students through programme choices based on admission rules and available capacity. In South African settings, Grade 12 and National Senior Certificate details, including final grade information, support accurate eligibility checks.
5. Returning student updates for a new academic year: Returning students use ITS Infinity to update their personal details for the upcoming academic year instead of reapplying from scratch. This keeps contact and academic records up to date with minimal effort.
Closing the Loop on the Student Application Journey
ITS Infinity streamlines the front door of the student lifecycle by moving from paper and email to a governed, online application process. It delivers clean data into the SIS, ERP, LMS, and timetabling systems that support academic records and planning.
