Student Applications
Student Applications
Section titled “Student Applications”Let students sign up for your faire on their own through a public application form, instead of adding each one yourself.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Required permission:
students:manage - You should have your organization set up first
- Student data processing must be enabled for your organization (contact your administrator)
- If your organization requires a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), one must be active before student applications can be accepted
1. Open the Manage Students page
Section titled “1. Open the Manage Students page”Go to Students → Manage Students in the sidebar.
2. Share the application link
Section titled “2. Share the application link”Copy the public application link from the top of the page. Send it out however works best — email, classroom announcement, school website. Anyone with the link can submit an application.
3. Generate a QR code
Section titled “3. Generate a QR code”Click QR Code to get a scannable code that points to the application form. Print it on flyers, project it during an assembly, or tape it to a bulletin board. Students scan it with their phone and land right on the form.
4. Review incoming applications
Section titled “4. Review incoming applications”Applications show up in the Manage Students list with a Pending status. Click on any application to see what the student submitted.
5. Approve or reject
Section titled “5. Approve or reject”For each pending application, click Approve or Reject. Approved students get added to your faire and receive an email confirmation. Rejected applicants get a notification too.
You can process applications one at a time or select several and use the bulk action buttons.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- The application form collects the student’s name and email at minimum. If you’ve set up a custom student registration form, that’s what they’ll fill out.
- Pending applications don’t count toward your student list until you approve them. No one slips through without your review.
- If you reject someone by accident, there’s no undo — but the student can reapply.
- For a faster workflow where students skip the approval step, add them directly. See Adding Students.
- Privacy compliance: Student self-application is disabled by default. Organization owners must enable it in settings, and an active Data Processing Agreement must be on file. This is required by California student data privacy laws (SOPIPA, COPPA, AB 1584).
