Reassign an Application for Review

At any time while an application is in review, you can end the current assignment and reassign the application to a single reviewer, multiple reviewers, or a standard review group. If an application is currently assigned to an ad-hoc or standard review group, you can only reassign the application provided no one in the group has submitted a recommendation. When you reassign an application, Unite discards any evaluations that are in progress and the original reviewers can no longer access the application. The steps for reassigning an application differ depending on whether you want to assign the application to selected reviewers or assign the application to a standard review group.

  1. Open a browser and log on to Unite.

  2. On the main menu, click REVIEWS.

  3. Verify you are on the My Pending Actions tab.

  4. Organize the grid to find the applications that are ready for review.

Note

Applications that can be reassigned have a Review in Progress status.
