Configure Unite Applicant Status Online (ASO) Status Section

The Status section allows you to display information about the applicant’s application such as the application status, the substatuses and their dates, the term, year, degree, and applicant type. You can also show the LSAC CAS report status detail.

You control how application status and substatus information displays online. For example, for the Admitted status, you might wish to display it online simply showing a decision has been made and not the actual status. That is possible.

You can rename the Status section name as well as change its text and background colors. You can set the information to display in one, two or three columns and add a spacer element to organize the information within each column.
