After you have reviewed the application and documents, you will need to complete the review with a few quick steps.

Completing all of the steps below will move the review from your "Open Reviews" on your Dashboard, to your "Completed Reviews" on your Dashboard.

Completing all of the steps will also help your Department or Faculty admin track the progress of the review process for each applicant.

*Note - if you are wishing to do a preliminary read, you can set your status to 'early read' or 'in progress'. Once you are ready to make a final decision, you can go back into the review and switch the status to 'completed'.

If adding comments, you should avoid hitting the 'save button' multiple times as your comments may be duplicated.
