Creating, Adding, and Deleting Institution Tags

Overview

Tags let counselors share what they know about colleges with students, and group together colleges that have something in common (for example, "Full-Need Schools" or "Great for First-Gen Students"). Each tag has a name and an optional description that explains what it means.

• District account managers can create, rename, and delete tags, and add or remove tags on any college.
• High school account managers can add existing tags to a college and remove them.
• Everyone else (counselors, students, and other educators) can view tags on college pages and use them to filter College Search.

Find a college

Every tag action starts on a college's page. In the top navigation, click Search, then Colleges.

On the College Search page, find the college by typing in the University Name box (or using the filters), click Search, then click the college's name.

Tags appear near the top of the college page, next to TAGS, just below the college's name.

Create a new tag (district account managers)

1. On a college page, click + Add a Tag.
2. At the bottom of the menu, click + Create a New Tag.
3. Enter a Name for the tag. You can also add a Description so students and counselors know what the tag means.
4. Click Create.

The new tag is added to the college right away and shows up next to TAGS. It's now also available to add to other colleges.

Add an existing tag to a college (district and high school account managers)

1. Go to the college's page (see Find a college above).
2. Click + Add a Tag.
3. Click the tag you want to add. Tags already on the college won't appear in the list.

Remove a tag from a college (district and high school account managers)

On the college page, click the trash can icon on the tag you want to remove. The tag comes off right away, and there's no confirmation step. Removing a tag only affects this college: the tag stays on every other college that has it.

View a tag and the other colleges that have it

Anyone can click a tag's name on a college page to open its details. You'll see the tag's description and a list of every college that has the tag.

Rename, edit, or delete a tag (district account managers)

Click the tag's name on any college page that has it. In the window that opens:

• To rename the tag or change its description, edit the Name or Description box, then click Update.
• To delete the tag, click Delete Tag, then click Delete Tag again to confirm.

Please note: Deleting a tag removes it from all colleges that have it, and it can no longer be added to colleges. If you only want to take the tag off one college, use the trash can icon instead (see Remove a tag from a college above).

Filter College Search by tag

On the College Search page, open the Tags filter on the left, start typing a tag name, and choose the tag. Then click Search to see every college with that tag. Click Clear next to the filter to remove it.
