Overview

An institutional editorial theme for colleges, universities, business schools and academies: programmes set like a prospectus, a faculty directory, admissions dates and open days.

Collegium gives a college or university a calm, authoritative website: navy and crimson on vellum, Crimson Pro headlines, IBM Plex Sans text, thin gold double rules and a crest monogram made from your site name.

  • Programme finder. Search programmes by keyword, school and level of study from the home page, then filter the catalog by mode of study and sort it by start date or fee. Programmes are listed in ruled rows with their fee and next start date.
  • Programme pages as a prospectus. A title band, a wide photograph or trailer, a navy key facts table (level, length, mode, pace, next start, language, hours, award), a sticky contents index, overview, learning outcomes, modules, entry requirements, fees and funding, faculty, start dates, student voices, questions and the application form.
  • Faculty directory. Every member of faculty with a crest-ringed portrait or monogram, role and fields of expertise; academic profiles with biography, appointments and the programmes they teach.
  • Admissions. An admissions calendar of upcoming start dates, a five-step admissions timeline, a programme comparison table, applicants' questions and an advice form.
  • Open days. A countdown to the next intake and an open day registration form.
  • News and events. A newsroom home with a lead story and a sidebar of upcoming dates; articles with a margin column for contents and sharing.
  • Forms built in. Open day registration, admissions advice, programme enquiries, contact and newsletter forms. No form plugin needed.
  • Campus galleries and video. Masonry galleries with a lightbox, a background video hero and a campus film section.
  • Light and dark. A hand-tuned "Library at night" palette for the dark scheme, a switch in the header, and four style variations: Oxford, Library at night, Ivy and Modern.
  • Patterns. Five heroes, the nine home sections, admissions, programme, media, form and page patterns, and six complete pages.
  • Demo content. Appearance → Import demo creates a small college (six schools, nine programmes, five members of faculty, the admissions pages and a menu).

Collegium uses the free Secure Custom Fields plugin for programme fees, modules, start dates and faculty profiles, and offers to install it. Without it, the pages still show everything already saved.

Questions

Where do form messages go?

Every form submission is stored under Messages in the dashboard, and emailed to the site's admin address. Change the recipients under Messages → Settings, or per programme in Courses → Settings (enquiry email).

How do I add a programme?

Go to Courses → Add New. Fill in the subtitle, fees, start dates, modules and faculty in the panels below the editor. Choose a school (subject) and a level of study. The programme appears in the finder, the catalog and the admissions calendar.

How do I change the crest?

The crest shows the initials of your site name. Upload a logo in the Site Editor (Site Logo) to replace it with your own mark.

Can a programme have a trailer?

Yes. Add a YouTube, Vimeo or video file link in the Featured video panel of the programme. It plays at the top of the programme page, with the featured image as a fallback.

How do I turn off the animations?

Collegium respects the "reduce motion" setting of your visitors' devices. To remove an animation from a block, clear its Motion setting in the block sidebar.

Does it have a dark mode?

Yes. Visitors can switch between light and dark with the button in the header; the site follows their system setting by default. The Library at night style variation makes the dark palette the default.
