OCR for Higher Education
Higher education ERP and SIS features across five operational areas
OCR for Higher Education brings academic governance, examinations, finance, campus operations, and employee and faculty management together in a university ERP and student information system.
Platform overview
Academic, campus, and administrative workflows come together in OCR for Higher Education.
Institutional identity
Your Institution. Your Digital Identity.
Your university can keep its identity in front of students, faculty, staff, and families across the portal and supported, authenticated communications.
OCR with institution identity
- Portal
portal.youruniversity.edu.pk- Your University <notifications@youruniversity.edu.pk>
- DNS authentication
- SPF and DKIM verification configured by the institution
- Calendar invitations
- Institution identity on supported, configured invitations
Underlying platform: OCR for Education
Illustrative examples; vendor offerings vary. Actual portal, sender, verification, and invitation details depend on configuration and the supported communication flow.
Custom Portal Domain
Use an institution-controlled subdomain. System Settings shows the ownership and DNS steps, then lets an administrator verify the portal mapping.
Institutional Branding
Use separate web and mobile logo assets, where supported, and institution identity details across portal views and communications.
Authenticated Institutional Email
Configure an institution-specific MailFrom domain and sender display identity for supported communications.
SPF & DKIM Verification
Publish the DNS records provided in System Settings and verify the sending domain and authentication records before configuring its sender.
Branded Notifications
Supported notices and invitations can use the configured institution identity, branding, and portal links. Details depend on the communication flow.
Self-Service Setup
An authorized administrator manages branding and domain settings in OCR. The institution’s IT team publishes the DNS records and the administrator verifies setup in the platform.
Configure your identity in two self-service flows
- Portal domain: Enter the institution-controlled hostname, have the IT team publish the CNAME and ownership records shown in OCR, then verify the mapping and activation status.
- Email identity: Enter the sending domain, have the IT team publish the generated DNS records, verify the domain, SPF, and DKIM status, then configure the sender identity.
