Mass Assign Waitlist or Defer Decision Statuses

Mass Assign Waitlist or Defer Decision Statuses

To mass assign Waitlist or Defer Decision statuses:
  • Configure the
    Manage: Waitlist or Defer Decision Status
     business process and security policy in the Admissions functional area.
  • Security:
    Reports: Student Prospect Records
     domain in the Student Recruiting functional area.
To assign Waitlist or Defer Decision statuses as a related action: Security:
Manage: Waitlist or Defer Decision Status
 domain in the Admissions functional area.
You can assign a status of:
  • Waitlist to applications that you aren't ready to make admissions decisions for.
  • Defer Decision to applications that you need more time to review.
You can assign the statuses to applications that don't have a rendered, finalized, or published admissions decision.
The
Admissions Evaluation Event
 business process automatically assigns the statuses when the initial internal decision or all required decision recommendations are Waitlist or Defer Decision. You might need to manually assign the statuses when:
  • You don't use the
    Admissions Evaluation Event
     business process in your admissions processing.
  • You want to assign a Waitlist or Defer Decision status before initial internal decisions or required decision recommendations are complete.
    Pending initial internal decisions or decision recommendations can change statuses that you assign manually.
  • You want to change the status that the business process assigned.
