What you get immediately
Plain limits
ClearStart is not a college portal, financial aid office, legal advisor, registrar, housing office, or replacement for official deadlines. It helps you understand what to check and what to ask.
Before you paste anything
Remove student ID numbers, Social Security numbers, tax details, account passwords, bank info, and private financial documents. ClearStart works best with the message text, not full private records.
Three short examples show what ClearStart is meant to do: read the message, find the task, flag the risk, and give the student a question to ask.
Subject: Housing application status
Your housing application may require additional action. If prompted, submit the initial payment by the posted acceptance deadline. Students receiving aid should review payment instructions in the Housing Portal.
Next: Open the Housing Portal and confirm whether you are prompted to pay.
Office: Housing
Ask: “Am I required to make the initial payment, or is it adjusted because of aid?”
Still unsure?
Try two decodes every 48 hours. Upgrade only when ClearStart feels useful enough to keep.
