Candidate Mgmt - Packet - Manage Packet

The Manage Packet page is composed of six panels.

Route completed packet to Candidate for review

• A policy requirement of the Academic Review process (APM-220-80-e) is to allow the candidate to see the Departmental Recommendation embeded in the Chair Letter, prior to the Dean review.
• When the Generalist determines that the packet is ready to route to the next Academic Review Level (Dean's Office) - the Chair Letter has been certified, any Joint Chair certification has been obtained, and the packet elements are all within the packet - she clicks the Notify Candidate button. This sends an email to the candidate and triggers a seven-day period during which the candidate can review the packet, including the Chair letter and redacted references.
• The packet will automatically route to the Speciality Center (pre-Dean review) after seven calendar days.

Route this packet

• This panel is used by the Academic Specialist to route the packet forward (CAP or VPAA) or backward (Department) in conjuction with noting why the packet is routed backward
• The Generalist can route the packet before the seven day period ends, if coordinated with the candidate (candidate must agree to a shorter review period)

Packet Routing History lists of each time the packet is routed from one Acadeic Review Level to another

Decision for this packet is used to Withdraw a packet; originally used to record the final decision, but that is now done on the Decision page
