Change General Application to Profile

They find that the term General Application is confusing to their applicants since they do not use a general application, and would prefer to use the term profile.  Another possibility is to allow for customization on the applicant home page.

    Irvine Valley College https://ivc.academicworks.com also wants to be able to change the name from "General Application" to "Preliminary Questions" as they feed all their applicants through CAs, and they think applicants are more likely to stop the application process after filling out a "General Application."  They are trying to find different ways of increasing their yield of submitted CAs.

    UOregon also wants this. They have an opportunity called the General University Scholarships (GUS) which is a conglomeration of 100s of foundation funds. This has been the name for decades and it is confusing for students to have the Gen App and the GUS.
