Type-specific fields when creating a program

Last updated: August 5, 2026

When you create a program, the Type you pick determines which extra fields appear on the form. Higher Education programs ask for admissions requirements, K-12 programs ask for grades and format, and Pathway programs let you link to other programs. This page covers what each Type adds.

When you create a program, the Type you choose can add extra fields to the form. This article lists the extra fields for Higher Education, K-12, and Pathway programs. Most other types add nothing extra.

What it is

The Type field tells Edvisor what kind of program this is. For most types the standard fields are enough. Three types add extra fields so agents and students get the right information.

Why it matters

  • The right type shows the right details (entry requirements, grade levels, pathway links).
  • Agents can filter and build proposals more accurately.

Higher Education

Extra fields include:

  • GPA requirement
  • English test scores (IELTS, TOEFL) and other tests (GMAT) where relevant
  • Application requirements as yes/no options: references, personal statement, admissions test, CV
  • Additional requirements — free text for anything else
  • Eligible for Work Permit — yes/no

K-12

Extra fields include:

  • Grade levels offered (K through 12 checkboxes)
  • Private or Public
  • Day or Boarding
  • IB (International Baccalaureate) — yes/no
  • Exchange — cultural or other
  • Activities offered

Pathway

Extra fields let you link the pathway to where it leads:

  • Destination campuses and programs — link to the campuses and programs a student can progress to. You can link to any campus on Edvisor.

Tips and common issues

  • If you do not see extra fields, the type you chose does not need them — that is normal.
  • Fill in test scores and requirements carefully, since agents rely on them to check if a student qualifies.
