Assigning and Monitoring Post Decision Reviews

After a decision has been made on an application, it may be necessary to review the file for such factors like scholarship consideration, moving applications from the waitlist, or assigning files to a faculty advisor. Unite supports this kind of review, after a decision has been made, through the Post Decision Review process. A Post Decision Review differs from a typical pre-decision review since it is used after a decision has been made, does not require a score or recommendation for confirmation, and it does not change the status of an application.

Post Decision Reviews are assigned and managed in the Reviews area in the All Decisions tab. This is key because assigning files for review in any other place in Unite results in the review being treated as a standard, pre-decision review, and the status of the application reverting to Review in Progress.
