Student Portal

Services to design, develop, implement and support a new, secure, student-centered web portal that will serve as the primary digital entry point for students engaging with DHE, with an initial focus on those
participating in the Commonwealth’s Direct Admissions initiative whereby students are “pre-admitted” to participating colleges and universities based on data in the possession of Commonwealth, such as their high school grade point average and other details, without filling in any application.
- Student Portal will provide eligible Massachusetts students with a streamlined and transparent experience for reviewing admissions opportunities from participating institutions of higher education and confirming their intent to enroll. By consolidating admissions offers into a single, secure platform, the Commonwealth aims to reduce barriers to college enrollment, simplify the admissions process and encourage greater participation in Massachusetts higher education.
- Student Portal to evolve into a modular platform supporting additional student-facing services and workflows over time. Future capabilities may include expanded institutional integrations, financial aid and affordability tools, transcript and document management, credit transfer functionality, personalized college planning resources and other constituent services. The solution should therefore establish a maintainable and extensible foundation that can evolve as programs, policies, student needs and Commonwealth technology capabilities change.
