What is CRICOS?
CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) is an essential framework for processing enrolments for overseas students.
CRICOS providers are required to report data to the Australian government through PRISMS (Provider Registration and International Student Management System)
Please be aware that the CRICOS functionality within the system cannot submit information directly to PRISMS, all student and enrolment information needs to be entered into the PRISMS website manually

To open CRICOS functionality within your system, you will need to enter your CRICOS Provider ID.
Go to Administration → Configuration → Preferences.
Click on the Edit button.
Enter your CRICOS Provider ID into the labelled field and click on the Save button.
This will enable CRICOS functionality in different areas of your system.
