Click to jump to parent topicAdding New Applications Manually

If the applicants you are entering do not already exist in your database, the system creates them and assigns them identification numbers.

The first two pages in this component store information regarding the applicant as a person. This data is shared between all applications for an applicant, as well as with prospect personal data. Updating biographical data here updates it throughout the database. The last three pages in this component, however, are application-specific pages, meaning they store information unique to this application. In other words, applications share biographical data but application data is unique to each application.

Avoid entering duplicate applications. Specify on the Installation Defaults - AD page at what level you want the system to warn you that a potential duplicate application exists.

See Setting Up Admission Installation Defaults.

The Student Admissions , Add Application component is the second of three very similar components:

Create/Update Prospect and Add an Application have a Biographical Data page and a Regional page. All three components have other pages with similar names such as Prospect Program Data page and Application Program Data page. Use these components to enter or maintain similar information at different times during your business processes: for entering prospects, for entering application data, and for maintaining application data.

This section lists prerequisites and discusses how to:

Before you begin entering application data, determine if the person is already in your Student Administration database. Often an applicant already has a system ID because an administrator already entered the person as a prospective student. For example, if a person sent test scores to your institution, it is likely that he or she is already in the system.

To see if the applicant is already in your system, select Student Admissions, Application Entry, Search Match.

Enter recruiting information about an applicant.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering or Updating Applicant Biographical Data

Access the Biographical Details page.

Use this page to enter and update the known biographical and demographic data for an applicant.

If, by performing search/match, you find that the person does not yet have an ID in your database, the key dialog prompt says NEW in the ID field because you are adding a new person as well as a new application. The application number will be all zeros.

Note. Leave the Application Number field as all zeros in order for the auto-numbering feature to work properly.

If you find the person in your search/match and used the Carry ID option, your key dialog prompt lists that person's ID. The application number is still all zeros.

If the person exists in your database, it is a good idea to see if an application has already been entered. You do not want to enter a duplicate application. Go to the Maintain Applications component to determine if the person has any current applications.

If you find a matching ID during your search process, the Biographical Data page displays existing data about this person. If you do not find a matching ID during your search process, then you add a new person as well as a new application. The page is blank except for those fields populated according to your user defaults.

After running a search/match, select Student Admissions, Application Entry, Add Application to add a new application.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering or Updating Applicant Regional Data

Access the Regional page.

Use this page to enter biographical information specific to your installation country. If this person is already in your database and has existing information, you can view it on this page.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Application Program Data

Access the Application Program Data page.

Note. The system fills in most of the fields on the Application Program Data page according to your user defaults. If the applicant had a prospect record and your setup dictates that data from the prospect record is to be copied to the application, the system populates some fields according to those defaults. For example, depending on your default setup, the system might populate academic career, institution, admit term, academic load, and academic program data based on the values in the matching prospect record.

Note. Admissions application records use the Last Admit Term to determine if the program, plan, or subplan should appear in the prompt. If the Last Admit Term is populated on the Academic Program Table (ACAD_PROG_TBL), Academic Plan Table (ACAD_PLAN_TBL), or Academic SubPlan Table (ACAD_SBPLN_TBL) and the term is less than or equal to the term selected for the ID, the system does not display the value in the prompt.

Effective Date

Enter an effective date for the application to this academic program if different than the default date. If you are entering the application after the start date of the admit term, you need to back date the effective date to a date prior to the start date of the admit term in order to term activate the student once they are matriculated.

Admit Term

Enter the admit term in which the applicant is expected to enroll, if he or she is admitted for this application. Define admit terms on the Term Table page. This is a user default field.

Expected Graduation Term

Enter the term in which the student expects to graduate.

Academic Program

Enter or update the academic program to which the person is applying. Define academic programs on the Academic Program page. This is a user default field.

After you matriculate the applicant, the system copies the application program data to the program/plan tables in PeopleSoft Student Records.

Academic Load

Select the academic load that the applicant will be taking on if admitted for this application. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. You can modify these translate values. Values are Full-Time and Part-Time.

Joint Program

Select the Joint Program check box if the applicant is applying to a joint program.

Dual Program

This field becomes available when you select the Joint Program check box. Enter the joint academic program. Define dual programs on the Academic Program page.

Campus

Enter or update the campus to which the person is applying within your academic institution. Define campuses on the Campus Table page. This is a user default field.

Status

Because you are entering a new application, this field automatically displays Applicant.

Program Action

Because you are entering a new application, this field automatically displays Application. This value can be changed. Program actions are predefined on the Admissions Action Table page and should not be modified.

Action Date

The default for the action date is your system date. This is the date that the action was actually entered into the system (contrast this with the effective date).

Action Reason

If there are action reasons associated with the program action that you selected, you can select the appropriate reason value. Action reasons enable you to record a brief explanation of why the program action took place. For example, for the action WADM (Administrative Withdrawal), you could define a reason of Incomplete Application. Define action reasons on the Program Action Reason Table page.

Career Number

Available if the Program Action field contains the value Readmit Application. If you want to readmit this applicant for this application into an existing career, you can select the proper career number here. You must also have an admit type where the Readmit Processing Required check box has been selected on the Admit Type Table page. The system readmits the person into the career that corresponds to the career number that you select.

Academic Plan

Enter the academic plan within the academic program being applied to with this application. An academic plan can be any area of study, such as English, math minor, physics, or undeclared. Define academic plans on the Academic Plan Table page. This is a user default field.

Sub-Plan

If a subplan exists for the academic plan, enter the subplan here. Define academic subplans on the Academic Sub-Plan Table page. This is a user default field.

Calculate Deposit Fees

Click this link to calculate an enrollment deposit. The Calculate Deposit Fees Page appears.

If your application center has designated a deposit fee code that requires a deposit, and you enter a program status of Admit, the Calculate Deposit Fees link appears. You can not exit the component until you calculate the enrollment deposit. Application centers are designated on the Application Data page.

Evaluation

Select this link to enter the status of the application. Values for this field are defined on the Evaluation Status Table.

Create Program

To matriculate the applicant at the same time you are entering the new application, select Matriculation in the Program Action field. The Create Program button becomes available.

Click the Create Program button to save the component. Also, note that if you select Matriculation in the Program Action field, you are required to click the Create Program button (which, again, saves the component) before exiting the component.

After you matriculate a person, the system creates a record in Student Records. All fields on this page are unavailable because to access the information you need access to pages in Student Records. Therefore, if you must make a change to this person's record after matriculation, you must do so through Student Records.

The Recruiting and Admissions application enables you to record multiple academic programs for one application under an academic career. After you have saved the Application Entry component, however, you must use the Program Addition page to add an additional program. Note that the Prog Number field shows the number of the program in the order it was entered. For example, if you only have one program, it displays 0. The next program displays 1.

Before matriculating the applicant, you might want to move to the next page in the Application Entry component first to record additional information about the applicant before you perform the matriculation process.

Go

Click this button to go to another component.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUpdating or Adding Application Regional Data

Access the Application Regional page.

You can add or update country-specific application data on this page. The page and the appropriate data appear based on the country options that you select on the following pages:

(AUS) Australia and (NZL) New Zealand Functionality

(AUS) Mode of Attendance

The Mode of Attendance field is a required field that is populated on each student's application. This data is required for reporting admissions data to the TACs via the Enrollment Feedback process as well as reporting element 329 Mode of Attendance code in DEEWR Data Collections.

The Mode of Attendance field resides on Application Entry, Application Maintenance, and Program Addition pages. It is a required field when you enter an application. After the student is matriculated, the mode of attendance is carried forward to the student program.

(AUS) Cohort

(Optional) Select a cohort for the student that the system will use as the default value when you enroll the student. The system populates this value by default on the Australian regional enrollment data and the field is available to tuition calculation for HECS or tuition fees if the Australian Regional Installation Settings are selected. After the student is matriculated, the cohort is carried forward to the student program.

(AUS) Funding Source

(Optional) Select a funding source for the applicant to represent the type of place being offered. The funding source can be mapped to the code reportable as element 724 in the DEEWR Applications & Offers Collection.

See Generating the Applications and Offers Files.

(NZL) Funding Source

This field is populated at application data entry time and is used in the Single Data Return process. The system uses the funding source that you enter as a default on the enrollment record for the student.

(NLD) Netherlands Functionality

Form of Study

Enter the form of study for which the applicant is registering.

Academic Level

The academic level can be registered separately from the academic program record.

Funding Applies

Select this option to indicate whether funding applies.

Prior Education

Before a student can enroll in a program, the student has to meet certain requirements concerning his or her curriculum. One is these requirements is the fact that the student has obtained a diploma from their previous school. The diploma received will reflect a specific level of education. Individual exam results are relevant. On a student level all prior education, including information about the school(s), courses taken and subjects passed, have to be registered.

Note. To make changes to this page after it has been saved, you must do so through the Maintain Applications component. If you are only entering one program for the applicant, enter only one program action on the Application Program Data page. You must enter additional program actions through the Maintain Applications component. For example, suppose you enter the application initially with a program action of APPL in the Add Application component. When you admit the applicant, you would enter the program action of Admit in the Maintain Applications component.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Application Data

Access the Application Data page.

Note. The system populates most of the fields on this page according to your user defaults. If the applicant had a prospect record and your setup dictates that data from the prospect record is to be copied to the application, the system populates some fields according to those defaults.

Application Center

Enter the application center that will process this application. This information helps you track which office is managing specific applications. Define application centers on the Application Center Table page. This is a user default field.

Admit Type

Enter the admit type for this application (for example, First-Year or Transfer,). Define admit types on the Admit Type Table page. This is a user default field.

Application Date

The default for the application date is the system date that the application was received. You can override this default.

Academic Level

Select the academic level to which the applicant is applying for admission. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. You can modify these translate values. Values are Freshman, Graduate, Junior, Not Set, and Post-Baccalaureate. This is a user default field.

Financial Aid Interest

Select this check box if this applicant is interested in financial aid for the programs to which he or she is applying. This field is useful for informational and reporting purposes. For example, the financial aid office can run reports listing those applicants interested in financial aid. This is a user default field.

Select this check box if this application is not missing any information and is considered complete by your office.

Date

Enter the date that you marked this application as complete.

External Application Nbr (external application number)

Enter the external application number if you received this application from a service with its own application-numbering scheme.

Fee Type

Select the type of fee assigned to this application. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. You can modify these translate values. Values are (none), International, and Standard. These fee types enable you to charge varying user-defined application fees.

Calculate Application Fees

You can use the Application Fees Calculation process to calculate application fees based on the Application Fee Code structure which is attached to the Application Center. The fee is calculated based on core production data—application program data. Application fees may or may not be posted to the student account. An administrator can waive the fee. The waiver is associated with an item type defined on the Application Fee Code setup. Both the application fee and waiver are posted to the student account.

If you calculate application fees based on core production data, then after selecting the fee type, click the Calculate Application Fees link to calculate the application fee owed. The Application Fees Calculation process runs and the Application Fees page appears. The system displays the calculated fee amount.

When you return to the Application Data page, the Status field in the Application Fee Information group box displays Calculated.

If your application fee is set up to post to PeopleSoft Student Financials, the Application Fees calculation process runs when you click the Run button on the Application Fees page. A COBOL posting program runs which creates an account for this person in PeopleSoft Student Financials.

If you use the Admission Applications Web Services (AAWS), fee calculation does not rely on Admissions production data. If a fee is required, fee calculation occurs during the application submit process via the web service, using the data stored in the AAWS staging table. With the exception of the maximum amounts on the Minimum/Maximum Fee Code (which rely on the charges posted to the student account), the AAWS fee calculation process produces the same amounts as the production data Application Fee Calculation process.

Note. Application fees and payments are not posted to the student account for AAWS. Regardless of any setup in the Application Fees component, all AAWS transactions are posted to the general ledger using the Direct to GL process.

For AAWS application fee processing, if Yes is selected for the Application Fee Required field on the Application Center Table page and the Amount Sent to GL value is greater than zero, then when you click the Calculate Application Fees link, the fee is not recalculated. The link takes you to the Application Fees page where you can view the results of AAWS application fee and waiver processing.

Tender Category

Use this field to designate how the fee payment was received. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. You can modify these translate values. Values are Credit Card, Electronic Check, Check, or Cash.

You have the flexibility to receive payments in multiple tenders. For example, you can waive a portion of a fee and the student's remaining payment can be split between a credit card and a check.

If you enter Credit Card, Electronic Check, or Check, the Tender Details page appears so you can enter further information.

If you do not use AAWS fee processing, you can enter information about the echeck or credit card, although the authorize/settle must be completed outside of Campus Solutions.

Click to jump to parent topicAdding New Prospects and Applications with Quick Admit

Recruiting and Admissions can take information concerning people enrolled from the Student Records Quick Admit process and at your discretion, create a prospect record and an application, or an application only for those people.

This section provides an overview of quick enroll and quick admit and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Quick Enroll and Quick Admit

The Quick Admit a Student component, Quick Enroll and Student component, and Quick Admit Batch Apps component are a variation on the fuller processes of admitting students and enrolling them into classes. Typically, you will use these components in conjunction with each other to accelerate admissions and enrollment procedures where immediate formal processing is not required or is unavailable for students. In addition, collecting admissions information on students who have been quick admitted might be useful for various funnel reports.

The Quick Admit a Student component and Quick Enroll a Student component, when used together, enable you to rapidly add or update a student's personal data in your system; activate the student in an academic career, academic program, or term; and enroll the student in classes.

The Quick Admit a Student component works concurrently with the Quick Admit Batch Apps component. Whenever you admit a student through the Quick Admit a Student component, the system flags the student's record to indicate that the student has been admitted by this method. The system then places these records into a temporary table awaiting your action. Using the Quick Admit Batch Apps component, you can then run the Quick Admit Process (ADQCKADM) to create prospect records and applications for these flagged records in the temporary table. The Quick Admit Batch Apps component and Quick Admit a Student component are not a replacement for the regular Recruiting and Admissions functionality. You must use the Application Data pages for regular admissions.

You can use the Quick Admit a Student component to add a new student's personal data record to your system, to activate a student into an academic career and an academic program within that academic career, and to activate a student into a specific term. By completing and saving the Quick Admit a Student component, a student quickly becomes eligible for class enrollment. You can also use the Quick Admit a Student component to update a new or continuing student's personal data record after the student already has an existing personal data record stored in the system. If you are entering new students into the system through the Quick Admit a Student component and you click the Save button after entering the student's biographical data and program data, the system assigns the student a unique ID that remains associated with the individual in your database until you change or delete it. Remember that each user has access to specific edit modes based on her or his security profile.

Important! To avoid creating duplicate IDs in your system, you should use the search/match function to determine if an individual with the same data already exists in your database before adding the new individual.

For new students, you can use the Quick Admit a Student component to enter the biographic, demographic, address, and program data about the student. When you save the component, the system:

For continuing students, you can use the Quick Admit a Student component to activate the student into a subsequent term; or to activate the student into a new academic career. When you save the component, the system:

After you have saved the student's biographical data and activated the student into the term, the student is eligible for class enrollment. You can then use the Quick Enroll a Student component to rapidly enroll students into the term. The system carries forward the key information (ID, academic institution, academic career, and term) and automatically opens the Quick Enroll a Student component for the given student.

When you access the Quick Admit a Student component, a dialog box prompts you to enter the key values of the admissions transaction. The key values are:

ID

In add mode, the system defaults the student's ID to New. For a student new to your system, you can use the default value to have the system assign the ID, or you can enter a new ID of your choice provided that it does not belong to another individual already in the system , or you can enter a student's existing ID.

In other modes, the system prompts you to search for an existing ID.

If you enter a new ID of your choice, you run the risk of disrupting the auto-numbering sequence that is included with the system. If you disrupt the auto-numbering sequence, a system administrator must correct the situation.

Academic Institution

Enter the academic institution to which you want to quickly admit the student.

Academic Career

Enter the academic career to which you want to quickly admit the student. Remember that academic careers are parents of academic programs. Therefore, when you enter an academic program on the Program/Plan page within this component, the system displays academic programs based only on the academic career you enter here.

Term

Enter the term for which you want to activate the student. After you enter the required data for a student into the Quick Admit a Student component and click the Save button, the system activates the student into the term that you specify. This functionality works for both new and continuing students.

To use the Quick Admit feature for a specific term, you must already have defined your academic term calendar for the academic programs within that term.

Note. Quick Admit uses the Max Program Effective Date for Term field from the Term/Session Table when populating the Effective Date on Student Program/Plan. If the current date is less than or equal to the Max Program Effective Date for the activation term, the Effective Date field on Student Program/Plan will be set to current date. If the current date is greater than the Max Program Effective Date for the activation term, the Effective Date field on Student Program/Plan will be set to the Max Program Effective Date defined for activation term.

See Establishing Terms and Sessions.

Add

Click to open the component with the specified key values.

The Quick Admit Batch Apps process is a two-step, two-page process. Use the first page in the Quick Admit Batch Apps component, the Selection Criteria page, to select a group of students who have been admitted through the Quick Admit a Student component. Use the second page in the Quick Admit Batch Apps component, the Assignment Criteria page, to specify whether to create historical prospect and application records or new prospect and application records, or both.

Access the Application Student Response page.

Student response information is important information your institution might want to track and report on. You can choose from a series of adapted reason response codes that your institution can set up to capture the exact information you want to track. However, you can use this page however you want to. For example, you can capture why students chose not to attend your school and where they are going. Alternatively, you can capture the reason why a student did select your school. If a student has multiple applications on file, each application can have its own corresponding student response. You can enter multiple reasons per application.

Reason

Enter a Student Response Reason code, for example FAID (financial aid). Define reason codes on the Response Reason Table page.

External Org ID (external organization ID)

Enter the external organization ID of the institution that the student has decided to attend. The system displays the external organizations for which you selected the Student Response - School Type check box.

You can enter a free-form institution name by tabbing out of the External Org ID field without entering a value and entering an institution in the field to the right. This way, the institution does not have to enter in all possible external institution codes. To enter a free form institution, you must select the Free Form Institution check box on the Installation - AD page.

Access the Program Addition page.

This component allows you to enter another program for an existing application. You may choose this option instead of creating a whole new application. The Program Number will increment by one based on the previous Program Number used for the application. For example, the student has one application on file with Program Number 0 for Liberal Arts and Program Number 1 for Fine Arts. Upon adding a new program from this component, the Program Number will increment to 2. After you have added the additional program, you maintain it through the Application Program Data page in the Maintain Applications component. You are prompted to choose the appropriate program number on the search page before accessing the Application Program Data page. To edit a different academic program for that application, you would need to click the Return to the Search button and choose the correct program number.

Note. Admissions application records use the Last Admit Term to determine if the program, plan, or subplan should appear in the prompt. If the Last Admit Term is populated on the Academic Program Table (ACAD_PROG_TBL), Academic Plan Table (ACAD_PLAN_TBL), or Academic SubPlan Table (ACAD_SBPLN_TBL) and the term is less than or equal to the term selected for the ID, the system does not display the value in the prompt.
