The applicant portal settings define whether applicants can defer and withdraw applications on the applicant portal. By default, the applicant portal settings apply to all entry points. However, you can define the settings of individual entry points by editing the reference data of the entry point.
- Deferrals
- Applicants can request to defer applications on the applicant portal. The option Allow applicant portal deferral requests on entry points overrides the applicant portal setting.
- The response from admissions staff to deferral requests is sent to applicants using the communication template Deferral request response email.
- Withdrawals
- Applicants can withdraw applications on the applicant portal. The option Allow applicant portal withdrawals on entry points overrides the applicant portal setting.
Permissions to set the options that enable applicants to defer and withdraw applications are defined in the Admissions permissions area Settings.
