How does ManageBac+ integrate with BridgeU?
Once the API integration is configured between your school's ManageBac+ and BridgeU accounts, the integration functions as follows:
- Single Sign-On (SSO) for Students: ManageBac+ Students will be able to log-in to BridgeU with their ManageBac+ credentials (E-mail Address, Password), eliminating the need for duplicate logins
- Smooth on-boarding: Student and teacher accounts will be setup in BridgeU, making it easier and faster for ManageBac+ students to start exploring their university options!
- Data sync: 1-way sync of information from ManageBac+ to BridgeU
This integration partnership reflects our on-going commitment to supporting IB Diploma students throughout their educational journeys, from applying to IB schools via OpenApply, to managing academics & extracurricular activities on ManageBac+, and now with university & careers planning on BridgeU.
