Example: Set Up Preliminary Admission Recommendation Policies

Example: Set Up Preliminary Admission Recommendation Policies

This example illustrates 1 way to set up preliminary admission recommendation policies.
At Alma Mater University:
  • Undergraduate applications receive preliminary admission recommendations of Admit, Defer Decision, or Deny.
  • Undergraduate transfer applications receive preliminary admission recommendations of Admit or Deny, except in the College of Arts & Sciences. In the College of Arts & Sciences, undergraduate transfer applications receive preliminary admission recommendations of Admit, Defer Decision, or Deny.
To meet the requirements, you must create these preliminary admission recommendation policies:
  • A policy that applies to Alma Mater University and all of its subordinate academic units and programs of study.
  • A policy that applies to the College of Arts & Sciences and all of its subordinate academic units and programs of study. This policy automatically takes precedence over the policy that the College of Arts & Sciences inherits from Alma Mater University.
  • Create an applicant score scale called AMU Undergraduates Applicant Score Scale with these ratings:
    • Admissible
    • Second Review
    • Deny
  • Security:
    Manage: Admissions Foundation
     domain in the Admissions functional area.
