Working with Supplemental Forms

Overview

Supplemental Forms allow an applicant to submit additional information after they have submitted their application. To present a Supplemental form to an applicant, the following must be set:

Application Field	Required Value
Application Stage	Submitted
Supplemental Form	<Application Form specified>

Be aware of the following limitations:

Application Fee payments via Supplemental Forms are not supported.
An application can have only ONE supplemental form.

How does it Work?

After the initial application is submitted and a Supplemental Form is included in the Application record, the applicant will have access to a button that opens the Supplemental Form. Once the applicant submits the Supplemental form, the Application record is updated to include the Supplemental Stage to Submitted and the Submitted Date. The applicant will have the option to "Review Supplemental" after submitting the form.

Supplemental form example

Note: Child cards (e.g., Recommendation, Essay, etc.) on a supplemental application form should be configured with distinct filter criteria from those on the original application form.

Configuring Supplemental Forms

The headline text, subtext, and button text displayed to the applicant are configured on the Application Form detail page using the following fields:
