Language: en-CA



As an Institution Admin, you're in charge of your whole institution — every
campus and every program. You create programs, add terms, choose the people who
run them, and decide who gets in.

You see everything — every campus, every program, and everyone in them — for the
**year and term** you pick in the top bar.
