Configure Evaluations

In this section, you can select whether applicants can add evaluations to their application (also known as Letters of Reference or Recommendation). When applicants add an evaluation, they identify an evaluator and this triggers a request to the evaluator to complete an electronic evaluation. Learn more about the evaluation process in the Applicant Processing Reference Guide.

1. Click the Editor link at the top.
2. Click the Evaluations checkbox on the left, then click the Evaluations link.
3. Add any relevant instructions in the Applicant Instructions field.
4. Indicate if recommenders must submit the minimum number of recommendations for the applicant to move into the Complete application status. If you select this checkbox, the applicant will not move into the Complete application status until the minimum number of recommendations are received by the applicant's evaluators. If you do not select this checkbox, the applicant can move into the Complete application status once all other materials are received (if applicable), regardless of whether the evaluators have completed and submitted the evaluations.
5. Select the checkbox for the evaluation type (e.g., Letter Upload with Likert Scale Rating, Letter Upload Only, etc.) you want applicants to be able to request.
6. For each evaluation type, specify the minimum number of evaluations required (1-10), as well as the maximum number of evaluations accepted (1-10). If you do not require but will allow evaluations, set the minimum required to 0.
