What this category's data looks like
International student admissions and enrollment management involves three types of materials: admissions brochures, admission letters, and visa application forms, which are maintained by admissions, academic affairs, and foreign affairs roles respectively, with update cadence fluctuating by batch and visa season. Admissions brochures contain major, program duration, tuition, and deadline; admission letters contain name, student ID, major, registration date, and signature/seal; visa application forms contain passport number, date of birth, entry validity period, and signature field. In the deployment, operations, and application handover stage, the three types of materials are stored in the database as files and forms; the main business database carries enrollment and admission records, the log database records operation traces, the cache supports sessions and streaming recovery, and the vector database supports retrieval. During handover, fields, dates, and signatures are checked item by item according to the materials, and version synchronization is confirmed, to avoid mismatches in names, quantities, and dates for the same record across two materials, or missing signatures and receipts.
Configuration and implementation checks
The connection configuration of the deployment environment (server side) is not a model node capability; it only outputs whether the connection is available (service startup result and connection logs). The handover-ready deployment status and operation records must be handled by the deployment handover and subsequent business processing. The connection addresses of the main business database, log database, cache, and vector database are configured separately via environment variables; if the log database is not configured separately, it reuses the main database.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Admissions brochure | Whether the major, program duration, tuition, and deadline are consistent with the admission letter, and whether signatures and versions are complete | Check fields, dates, and signatures item by item against the brochure and the letter, and record discrepancies |
| Admission letter | Whether the name, student ID, major, and registration date match the visa application form, and whether the receipt is retained | Check the letter and the application form according to the handover checklist, and confirm version synchronization and complete signatures |
| Visa application form | Whether the passport number, date of birth, and entry validity period are consistent with the admission records, and mark missing signatures or receipts | Check the application form and enrollment records item by item, and register inconsistencies and missing items |
| Deployment connection | Whether the main business database, log database, cache, and vector database are connectable, and whether the connection logs report errors | In the deployment environment, check that the values of MONGODB_URI, REDIS_URL, and PG_URL match the instance addresses, connect once, and review the startup logs |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The major name and program duration quantity for the same student do not match between the brochure and the admission letter. Cause: Material versions were not synchronized; admissions and academic affairs each kept a version, and fields and dates were not checked item by item during handover.
- Symptom: The visa application form is missing a signature or receipt, which is only discovered at registration. Cause: The handover checklist did not list the signature field and receipt item, the material circulation step did not check item by item, and missing items were not marked.
- Symptom: After startup, the logs continuously report connection timeouts, and retrieval reports vector database errors. Cause: The connection variables do not match the actual instance addresses, or the log database and main database were mixed without checking the write location.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance for this feature: connect once to the main business database, log database, cache, and vector database item by item, check the connection results in the startup logs, and confirm that MONGODB_URI, REDIS_URL, and PG_URL point to actual instances and are connectable.
Business test: check once item by item according to the handover checklist, see which record is missing, and confirm that the fields, dates, and signatures of the brochure, admission letter, and visa application form are complete and the versions are consistent.
- In the deployment environment, check that the connection variable values for the main business database, log database, cache, and vector database match the instance addresses, connect once, and retain the startup logs and connection results.
- Check the fields, dates, and signatures of the admissions brochure, admission letter, and visa application form item by item according to the handover checklist, and register inconsistencies, missing items, and version differences.
