You can drill down into an organisation category to see the number of individuals and memberships in a specific organisation.
21165: Registration status check page
This page allows students to check the status of their registration by entering their university ID number.

The status messages are configurable, and certain status results e.g. 'uni data record in import duplicates' can trigger an email to your 'registration admin' so the problem can be resolved.
