They would like applicants to be able to skip groups of questions depending on their answers. i.e. if you filled out fafsa answer these questions. if not, answer these.

    LSU supports this request. Our conditional applications are designated by each senior college. There are questions we need to ask entering and continuing students questions that do not apply to both. We would like skip logic questions as well to allow students to bypass questions that do not apply to their classification

    UCLA would also like a skip logic option. We have attempted to work around this issue by having optional questions, but it doesn't work properly.

    For example, We ask those who identify as prospective graduate students to include their prior bachelor and/or master degrees and awarding institution names. This is an optional question, with a 2 word minimum, so we don't get blank replies from these students. However, prospective undergraduates also can't submit their applications. We've had to add help text suggesting they use "not applicable" to meet the minimum. :( It would be better if they never saw the question at all.

    I would love to see skip logic available in Awards Management. This would be a great tool for our university!

    Please see similar request from cofc; description below:

    We have an opportunity for the school of science and math that is awarded school wide. The scholarship liaison would like to ask different questions for the different majors within the opportunity. For example, they would like to ask Math majors to list their courses they've taken and ask Astrophysics majors to write an essay on their personal goals. For budgeting purposes and record keeping we'd like to keep it in the same opportunity. Could we possibly add additional/conditional questions based on criteria?

    Mount Royal University would also like to Dynamic Question Trees. We have numerous questions that follow a "If you answered yes, please answer the next 5 questions..." type model and it makes the application both confusing and needlessly long.  This is out top request.

    UW Madison is interested in this becoming a feature. It would be extremely beneficial to our students experience with the system.

    Both Utah and IU (Indiana) have asked about this. For Utah, it's a big hurdle to getting their College of Engineering to come onboard. 

     

    IU would like it as a means of avoiding building out a ton of conditional applications. They have one campus that requires an essay and were hoping that when applicants chose that campus if the easy prompt could come up. They are trying to be judicious with their use of conditional applications in an attempt to make the application process better for applicants. They don't want students to have to submit multiple applications for all of the campus they could be applying to. Granting a conditional for one campus because of one campus opens up a can of worms.
