• It is not possible to access the Directory from the Admin Console in order to subscribe to Directory programs at this time. The Directory must be accessed from the classic "Programs" menu.
• Directory programs are imported into the classic program builder first where an admin can directly navigate to the Program Wizard afterwards. With the use of a "Directory Content" brochure widget, it is possible to import Directory brochure content into a Program Wizard brochure. This step is recommended in order to benefit from the aesthetics that the modern brochure offers. See the Using the Program Wizard Knowledgebase article for details. 

Creating a New Program Connected to the Study Abroad Directory

1) Navigate to Programs > Create New.

2) Click the Study Abroad Directory Listing tab to see all programs on the Directory (in alphabetical order) or the Study Abroad Directory Search tab to search for a specific program on the Directory.  These tabs are located at the top of the Create New Program page.

3) Click on the magnifying glass icon to see the program brochures for each program.

Select the program(s) to which you would like to subscribe.

4) Click the Subscribe to Marked Programs button at the bottom of the page. You will be prompted to confirm the request.

You must then go through each new program and check the configuration and information to ensure it is what you wanted. Programs imported from the Directory are not active by default. If you are ready for the programs to appear to applicants searching the site, you must mark each one as active on the General tab of the program.

Important Note: If you try to subscribe to too many programs, the action could time-out, stopping the successful download of all the programs. For this reason, we recommend that you download no more than twenty programs from the Directory at one time. Downloading can take several minutes.
