Add an application manually - Direct/Manual Admissions
The steps show how to use the SI-net Add a Manual Application pages to record the biographical and academic information contained in an application that has been submitted to the University.
When adding an application, information needs to be added to a number of tabs within the Add Application pages. Some fields and checkboxes on these pages need to be completed with care and in the correct format, to avoid Australian Government reporting errors. Key points to remember when adding an application are:
- The Effective Date must be on or before term start date, so be sure to backdate it if necessary.
- Accurate Citizenship information is mandatory to meet Australian Government reporting requirements (Note: Not relevant for CPD applications).
- Be sure to record the ID and Application Nbr (both 8-digit numbers) that appear upon saving the application. These may sometimes ‘carry over’ to other SI-net pages, but this may not always be the case.
PLEASE NOTE: Always conduct a Search/Match prior to entering an application. If you find that the person already exists in SI-net (for example as a prospect or a previous student):
Be sure to check that an application does not already exist for that program and admit term, using the Maintain Applications pages. If an application already exists, please view that existing application and make any required updates directly, rather than creating a duplicate application.
If the person does exist but no application exists, proceed to use the Add Application page as below, but please overwrite the ‘NEW’ in the ID field, and enter the person’s existing ID. This indicates that the new application being entered is linked to this existing person’s record. Any details already recorded in SI-net about the person will then be automatically populated throughout the Add Application pages.
