Admissions to graduation — a student journey without the app fatigue.
Let prospective and current students apply, register, pay fees and get academic notices through WhatsApp, while your student information system stays the system of record.
Where colleges & universities lose people.
The process usually works — but the friction around it costs time, money and trust.
Portal fatigue
Students juggle a student portal, email and phone calls just to check one status.
Admissions drop-off
Complex application processes lose applicants who give up midway.
Fee statement confusion
Students and parents struggle to get a clear, current balance without visiting the bursar.
Missed notices
Timetable changes, exam schedules and deadlines get missed in crowded inboxes.
The conversation around the form.
A structured conversation replaces the queue, the counter or the phone call — while your systems of record stay exactly where they are.

Common questions about colleges & universities.
Does this replace our student information system?
No. w2a connects to your SIS/ERP as the system of record and adds a student-facing WhatsApp layer for common interactions.
Can it handle document uploads for admissions?
Yes — transcripts, IDs and supporting documents can be uploaded directly in the chat and routed for review.
Can different departments use different workflows?
Yes. Admissions, registration, finance and student support can each have tailored journeys on the same runtime.
Can we pilot with one faculty or one intake?
Yes. A common starting point is a single faculty's admissions cycle or one term's registration.
