Decline students for the entire scholarship cycle (shows in each opportunity grid).

We would like a way to decline students for the entire scholarship cycle. This would show in each opportunity application grid.

We have students who are employees and are not eligible for scholarships. We want to decline these students upfront, and see they are declined before we reach the finalist stage. We also experience this issue with students who have dropped out, not semester enrolled, failed SAP, etc. Cleaning out these generally ineligible students would save us significant time and looking at various sheets while trying to offer scholarships.

While it would be wonderful to prevent them being reviewed on the general application level, simply having them out of our pool/easily seeing them when working on offers would be a significant help.

Thank you!

    I will look more into this. I have asked before if there was an option and have always been told no.

    Would this mark the student only for the cycle?

    Hi Farrah,

    We released an "inactive applicant" feature which helps with the situations you're describing. You can use an import file to designate applicants as "inactive". This will prevent the system from sending those applicants any emails and it can also be used as a qualification so that any inactive applicants become disqualified from Opportunities.

    You can find more information at the link below. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I'm misunderstanding your request.
