Understanding Your Role
What an Institution Admin can do in CareCard.
As an Institution Admin, you oversee your whole institution — every campus, every program, and everyone in them.
How Your Scope Works
CareCard has three institution-side reviewer roles. Each one sees a different part of the organization:
| Role | Can see |
|---|---|
| Institution Admin (you) | The whole institution — every campus and program |
| Campus Admin | Only the campuses they administer |
| Program Coordinator | Only the programs they coordinate |
You see everything they see. The Campus Admins and Program Coordinators under you see only their part.
But seeing is not the same as doing. You can look at every campus and program, but each Campus Admin and Program Coordinator still does their own work.
You can't give yourself this role. Another Institution Admin — or CareCard staff — invites you. The invitation shows up on your Home dashboard, and the role starts working only after you accept it.
What's on Your Side Menu
Your side menu shows Home, Insights, Requests, Users, Tags, and Institution. Messages and My Files sit at the bottom.
More opens the rest of your tools — Programs, Requirement Items, Templates, and Program Templates.

The Year and Term Selector
A year and term selector sits in the top bar. Requests, users, programs, and program templates all follow what you pick there.
What You Do
Keep your institution current
- Managing Your Institution — Your institution's profile, its campus list, and the programs and terms under each campus.
Put people in charge
- Adding Admins and Coordinators — Add Campus Admins and Program Coordinators anywhere in your institution, plus other Institution Admins.
Let people in
- Reviewing Institution Access Requests — Approve, reject, or ask for more info on requests. Campus Admins and Program Coordinators review these with you.
Keep track of everyone
- Tags and Tracking Progress — See and group everyone across your whole institution, not one campus.
- Messaging — Message the people in your institution.
What You Can't Do
You can't decide on documents. Only CareCard staff can Approve, Reject, or Hold a submitted document. You won't see a Verification page.
You can't create a new campus or institution. CareCard staff set those up. You can still add and edit programs under your campuses, and add terms — see Managing Your Institution.
