9.2 OAAP Terms Setup
Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to configure Terms Setup in the OAAP.
Audience: Online Admissions staff.
OAAP Terms Setup
Important!
Colleges charging application fees in OAAP will need to coordinate with their Student Financials staff to update the Application Fees configuration in ctcLink. For each term you set up to display in OAAP, an Application Fee must also be set up for that term in ctcLink. If this Application Fee setup is missing in ctcLink for a term a student applies to in OAAP, the application will fail to submit. See QRG 9.2 Managing Admissions Application Fees Configuration.
To add new terms, follow steps 1-10. To remove old terms, skip to the Existing Terms section of this QRG.
