Ability to change terminology for General App and Post Acceptance

Wesleyan does not like the term General Application and would like to be able to name it something else. They use it for grants (scholarships are handled with CUUI behind the scenes).

They also do not like the term "Post Acceptance," one reason is that for grants, they may not ask for the PA responses until much later, so it's not like it's right after acceptance. They'd like the flexibility to call this something else.

    UNC Asheville does not utilize a general scholarship application process for institutional scholarships. Similar to Wesleyan, and others, our institutional scholarships are handled behind the scenes.


    Having the flexibility to rename/rebrand the general scholarship application to a student's scholarship profile or scholar profile would be tremendously helpful.


    Thanks for considering!

    Melonie Bryan from ecu would also like to be able to customize the name of her General Application. The use-case she provided:

    "Based on parent questions, wondering if it is possible to edit text. Would prefer GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION as folks seem to confuse this with the ECU Admissions application or the Admissions Common Application. In our instructions within the portal we try to always refer to the General Scholarship Application."

    Tina from University of Oregon would also like to be able to change the name of the General Application. They have a large scholarship called "General University Scholarships" and it creates confusion for their students.

     

    For the record I feel like I have seen this issue quite a bit and will try to add more clients as it comes up again.
