Admissions, enrolment and financial aid notices: delivery to students of the University of Malta and MCAST

Every academic year, tens of thousands of students sit admission decisions at the University of Malta (UM), the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) and the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS). The Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) anchors the qualifications framework. 4notify delivers admission results, enrolment notices, residence-allocation messages for the Tal-Qroqq and Paola halls, and stipend reminders by SMS, push and email.

The 4notify Difference

4notify is the only A2P provider that consumes admission events from the University of Malta, MCAST and ITS into a single envelope, delivers decisions by push / SMS / email, and tracks the MFHEA scholarship calendar per student.

Frequently asked questions
Does 4notify replace the university admission system?

No. 4notify operates downstream: the institution takes the decision and 4notify delivers the notice to the student on their preferred channel, with a five-year audit trail.

Are international students handled differently?

Yes — separate templates carry the visa and Identity Malta residence-permit reminders, plus pre-arrival orientation; the cascade respects the international student's preferred channel from their UM portal.
