Applicants can now enter invitation codes in the new Add Program page interface. You can offer invitation codes to applicants who request a deadline extension. Invitation codes are specific to the organization; they can be used by applicants to apply for a closed program within that organization, or to add a closed program within that organization to their application and then apply to it.
Invitation codes must be requested from your Account Manager or Customer Solutions Manager, who will send them to you in a file. When an applicant requests a deadline extension, you can then send the applicant the invitation code to enter in their application. Review the Invitation Codes Reference Guide for more information.
