admissions office
Application processing center
The admissions office is the department at a college, university, or other institution that handles applications from prospective students.
It reviews credentials, makes acceptance decisions, and communicates with applicants: I need to call the admissions office about my application status.
The term extends to similar departments at hospitals or other organizations that formally receive people.
