Once you've finished editing your application and making changes within your award cycle, you can test your application to ensure that everything is displayed to students as you need it to be.
First, you'll need to create a test student user under the Users tab by clicking Create User. Make sure to fill out the required information and click Create User.
Note: The email you use to create the account does not have to be a real email. It simply needs to follow the email format.
Next, you would proceed to impersonate the user by clicking the 'Impersonate User' button under their Account tab.
Select the Application tab and start filling it out.
Note: You may want to intentionally fill out the application so that your Test Student user can qualify for one or more scholarships.
Once you submit the application, some follow-up items may appear on the dashboard. It is recommended that you proceed to complete them as part of the testing process.
You can head to the Scholarships tab to see which scholarship your test student matched to.
Afterwards, you can click on 'Stop Impersonating [User Name]' at the top of the page to stop impersonating the user.
If you head to your Scholarships tab, and select the scholarship the test student user was applied to, you will see them on the Award and Deny tab.
If you are not satisfied with the state of your application, you can proceed to correct it in Admin portal and then continue to test by impersonating your test student.
If you're satisfied with the state of your application, you can proceed to delete the test student by clicking the 'Delete User' button under their Account tab.
Note: This action is permanent, and the student will be removed from any scholarships they were applied to during the testing process.
