• An understanding of your institution’s deadline policy

In the system exist four different types of deadline policy:

• Strict (enforce when adding priorities) - This means that the “Apply now!” button will be inactive after the deadline, but anyone who has managed to press it will be allowed to finish their application.

• Strict (Enforce on 1st submission) - This means that the “submit application” button will be inactive after the deadline. Therefore this is more strict than the previous mode - in addition to pressing the “Apply now!” button, the applicant also needs to fill in and submit the application before the deadline arrives. Any reopens, and re-submissions are still allowed.

  • Also block reopens and re-submissions - Normally applicants that managed to submit their applications in time, can still make adjustments by reopenning and re-submitting(despite the deadline being over). However, if you tick this box, submitted applicants will remine submitted and can not be reopened or edited after the deadline has passed (except by admins).

• Flexible - This mode allows applicants to apply even after the deadline has passed, up until the commence date arrives, and studies start. The deadline will change to a message explaining that applications are late but still allowed.

• Rolling - This mode hides the deadline completely. After the intakes start date is reached, applicants can apply without a deadline. Just make sure to update the academic term, once you want applicants to start applying to the next semester. The studies commence date is shown only for information purposes.
