What are application statuses and how do I set them up?

Once students submit the online application form for a course, their applications appear in the applicant registration module. Each application then moves through the stages of your admission process, and each stage is marked with a status.

Default statuses

The registration module has three default statuses:

1. Pending — the application is being processed.
2. Allotted — the applicant has been allotted to a batch.
3. Discarded — the application has been discarded or rejected.

The admin or a privileged user can create more statuses as needed.

Create a custom status

1. Go to Menu → Academics → Applicants.

2. Click Registration.

3. Click Settings.

4. Click Registration Course settings.
