9.2 Adding Applications Manually without a Fee

Purpose: Use this document as a resource for how to add applications manually with a fee waiver in ctcLink

Audience: Admissions Staff

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

ZC AD App Entry
ZZ AD App Entry

You must also set these SACR Security permissions:

If you need assistance with the above security roles or SACR settings, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

When adding an admission application (Quick Admit, Add Application) to an existing EMPLID:

If you copy/paste an EMPLID, you may have noticed that when you copy/paste an EMPLID it can come along with an extra space and tab. Please keep an eye out and delete those extra spaces before and after an EMPLID before saving your record. If you save with the extra space/tab, it creates a NEW EMPLID (a duplicate!) that includes that space/tab.
If you manually enter an EMPLID, please confirm it is the same as the intended EMPLID before saving. If you save it and it is not the same and intended EMPLID, it can create a new EMPLID (or associate data with the wrong EMPLID).
When you get a warning that an SSN is already in use, heed it! It is a clue that you may unintentionally be creating a new EMPLID. Stop and figure out who else has the SSN on their record: Are they the same person that you are adding to the system?

Bypass an Address

Sometimes, a student will provide a valid address that isn't recognized by Clean Address. This often happens when an apartment or home is under new construction. In cases where you've verified that a student's address is accurate and the address isn't recognized by Clean Address, bypass Clean Address by following the steps listed below.

The Clean Address database is updated every few months (with data from USPS), so colleges do not need to report addresses that are not recognized by Clean Address.

To view a table of invalid address error descriptions, visit the QRG 9.2 Update Address Information.

Enter the desired information into the following:
- Address 1 field
- Address 2 field (if applicable)
- City field
- State field
- Postal field
- County field
Select the OK button in the lower-left corner.
