Post Acceptance - Student Dashboard

Kaylie Brown

Hello, I am new to using the Academic Works/Blackbaud Award Management site. Today, when reviewing post acceptance and receiving an email who needed assistance with post acceptance, I became the student (using become user) and noticed that the “deadline” on the post acceptance widget for her award had a deadline that was in early April, not the agreed upon post acceptance deadline. Come to find out while troubleshooting with support this deadline was based off the “public end date" for this particular scholarship opportunity. While this deadline won't disallow a student to complete the post acceptance, I could see it being confusing to a student and could cause them not to finish the post acceptance if they didn't by that “deadline”. I feel it would make more sense for the Post Acceptance widget to show the post acceptance deadline if it shows one at all. I was encouraged to share my thoughts here with the community in hope Blackbaud might see it and consider making these changes in future updates.
