Application windows

Default Deadline — The date the program closes and stops accepting applications. This can be on or before the close of the application cycle.

Display Deadline — How the deadline appears to applicants in the portal. This is a display setting, not a date field, and has three options:

  • Same Deadline — applicants see the Default Deadline date.
  • Different Date — applicants see an earlier priority date; the program remains open until the Default Deadline. Use caution with this option: applicants will treat the displayed date as the final deadline and may not apply after it passes, even though the program is still open.
  • Rolling — applicants see "Rolling"; the program remains open until the Default Deadline. Use caution with this option: applicants have no indication of when the program actually closes. If you use this setting, you must communicate the Default Deadline date in your program's branding text.

Student-facing branding

Branding is linked by CAS Program ID so coordinators can review the same header image and applicant-facing instructions.

Branding differs between these application windows. Compare the grid below. Changed instruction lines use a gold left bar, with changed words underlined when there is a close matching line.
