The Accepted/Declined banner is a powerful tool located within the Student Record. It plays a critical role in tracking and managing the outcomes of your students’ applications, even after your formal counseling process has concluded.
Key Features
1. Adding Colleges for Record Keeping
◦ If your student continues to apply to additional colleges after your counseling process has ended, you can add those colleges directly to the Accepted/Declined banner.
◦ This ensures that the information is captured in your student’s profile for complete and accurate documentation.
2. Integration with App Tracker
◦ This seamless integration reduces the need for duplicate data entry and streamlines the tracking process. When schools are added to the app tracker, they will also appear here. The App Tracker has Application Outcome tracking columns (blue) those correspond with the information in the student profile. Update in either place.
3. Data Analytics and Outcome Tracking
◦ Adding schools to the Accepted/Declined banner ensures they are included in your overall data analytics.
To have a full picture of application outcomes and decisions, use this banner to track all results—even for schools added after the initial list was finalized.

1. To access the Accepted/Declined banner, open the Student Record Form for the student. 2. Navigate to the Accepted/Declined banner section.
