This is very important. Our Advancement Office is unable to reach out to the correct constituents for alum and past students, because these students are now coded as past candidates.
and one more very important thing is now that the past student is a candidate or past candidate, you are no longer able to find them in On Record and pull the transcript this way.
In addition, if the student comes back later in life and applies for their child, on Board will not show the community connection of this now parent having attended the school.
Yes this is very important. What we are finding is happening is that past students reapply and they change to candidate and lose their past student role, and then if they do not enroll they because a past candidate. They never regain their past student role. This is a very import role to have for our Advancement Office.
Great idea. I'm for it
