Overview
After the applicant has submitted the application (see Using the Application Portal – Step 2 - Apply to a Course using the Application Portal), you as the Provider can now view the details of all the information, attachment, and initial payment that the applicant has sent. This would be the perfect time to review, cross-check, evaluate all the required fields that matters to you and for government reporting (if the student is successful). This page will guide you on how you could go about checking the submitted application details in Paradigm, how to make the applicant go back to the application page if there are information that you want them to add, edit, or confirm, and most importantly, how to send an offer.

2. IF Needs Revision: YES? Set Course Enrolment Application Status to In Process

As a Provider, if you are not satisfied with some of the information submitted and you want the applicant to go back and add, edit, or update some fields which you think could be critical for their acceptance to the Course, you have the option to set the application to “In Process” in Paradigm which will then allow the student to go back to the Application Portal. See below instructions on how to do it:

IF you want to reject the application, you have the option to send a communication event using your [EMAIL_CRS_REJECTED] template. The same goes with your other possible application outcomes.
