Manage Deadlines

To get started:

  1. Under Settings, choose Deadlines.

Under Deadlines, choose the Deadline Type or choose None.

Note: The two deadlines types are Strict and Loose. A Strict deadline prevents applications from being submitted after the selected date. A Loose deadline notifies the user that the deadline has passed, but still allows the parent to complete applications after the specified date. Deadlines do not affect a parent's ability to upload documentation.
