Require Program Deadlines

Prevent the submission of the application if the applicant selected a program where that program’s special deadline has passed.

In this example, Biology applicants who are accessing the Review page after 01/05/2021 at 11:59:59 PM will receive a message that reads, "The deadline for this program as passed."

Type - Submission Requirement Section: Select the page that displays the custom application field. Name - Provide the text that will display when the applicant is missing information. Warning -Select Hard Fail. Base - Configurable Joins - Application Filters - Select a date using the Current Date Filter in combination with each field that should have a value saved.

  Best Practice

Use the deadline on your application rounds whenever possible. If only some of your programs have different deadlines, you may decide to make submission requirements to accomplish this. Be sure to include all program-specific deadline information in your application instructions, so applicants know which programs are available. Program-specific deadlines should never occur after the application round deadline. The deadline on the round restricts all external access to the application after that date.
