Using the Approval Functionality on Scholaro

Using the Approval Functionality on Scholaro

Introduction

This article provides guidance for institutions with an institutional account on Scholaro. It explains how to use the approval functionality effectively to manage applicant orders submitted through the institution’s custom link.

Accessing the Approval Section

1. Log In to Scholaro: First, ensure you are logged in to your institutional account on Scholaro.
2. Navigate to Applicants: Go to the "My Account" section on the Scholaro website. From there, select "Applicants" to view incoming orders.

Managing Applicant Orders

1. Review Submitted Orders: In the Applicants section, look for applicants whose order status is marked as "Submitted." These are the orders pending approval.
2. Approve Applications: For each application in the "Submitted" status, you will find an "Approve" button in the "Needs Approval" column. Click this button to approve the applicant and initiate the evaluation process.

Sorting and Tracking Orders

- Sort by Status: Since the system sorts applicants by their order ID, some recently updated orders might not appear at the top of the list if they are returned to "Submitted" status due to newly submitted information or documents. We recommend sorting by status in descending order (Z-A), so that "Submitted" orders appear on top, ensuring they are addressed promptly.

Regular Checks

- Daily Check: To prevent delays in processing orders, we recommend checking the "My Account" section daily. This ensures that all new and updated submissions are approved in a timely manner.

Support and Assistance

- Contact Support: If you have any questions about the approval process or specific applicants, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.

Conclusion

Following these guidelines will help ensure that the approval process for applicants is efficient and effective, minimizing delays and facilitating a smooth operation of the evaluation process. Thank you for your attention to detail and prompt handling of applications.
