How to lapse offers

Lapse offers to applicants that have not responded to offers or not respond to offers before a required date. Lapsed offers have the response 1 set to Declined - Lapsed

Lapse offers as follows:

  1. Find the applications to lapse. Go to Applications queries and then define the filter. For example:

    • Filter the applications by the folder Lapsed when lapsing offers at the end of the admissions cycle.

    • Filter the applications that have a Response 1 date before or on today's date when lapsing offers to an oversubscribed programme.

    The table Operators details the operators used for filtering applications by respond by 1 date.
