Add or Edit a Student Application

You can add or edit an application for a student.

If your institution requires an application for each enrollment, you can use the information from the application when you enroll a student. Once the student is enrolled, the application is no longer displayed in their list of applications.

Your institution can define custom properties that are unique to your institution using the Extended Properties page. (Select the Settings tile > expand System > select Extended Properties.)

The Extended Properties section on this page displays all the fields that your institution has defined so that you can view, complete, and edit them. Because the fields vary by institution, your institution will provide tooltips or additional information you need to complete or edit the fields. If your institution has not configured extended properties, this section is not visible.
