Instant Submission is an ApplyBoard feature that gives your students the fastest application experience in the industry. For eligible programs, AI checks documents automatically and submits the application directly to the institution, reducing processing time from weeks to days.
How Instant Submission works
When you search for programs on the ApplyBoard platform, you can filter results to show only programs that support Instant Submission. These programs display a green Instant Submission badge in the top-right corner of the program card.
Once your student selects an eligible program, here is what happens:
- Create the application and upload all required documents at once to avoid delays.
- ApplyBoard's AI checks each document for accuracy and completeness, catching errors before they reach the institution.
- The application goes directly to the institution, skipping manual review steps that slow down the standard process.
- For programs that also offer Instant Offer, your student can receive a conditional acceptance within a few hours of submission.
Why Instant Submission gives your students a competitive edge
Faster applications mean more time for everything that comes after. Instant Submission helps your students in three ways:
Weeks become days
The application process that typically takes weeks can be completed in just days, giving your students a head start over other applicants.
Same-day conditional offers
For select programs with Instant Offer, students can apply and receive a conditional acceptance on the same day.
More time for the visa
Earlier acceptance letters mean students have more time to prepare their study permit or visa application, reducing the risk of processing delays.
