Institutional Contacts are ITU Academy users, who have been designated by their organization to purchase and manage courses for employees of that organization. Any user can request to be an Institutional Contact as long as they have been authorized by the organization to represent them. The main functionality available to Institutional Contacts is the ability to buy courses and enroll students into them. Any user can request to join an Institutional Contact, meaning that an Institutional Contact purchases a course and enrolls the user in that course. Institutional Contacts themselves can also be course participants and enroll themselves in a course.
