Following the registration process, the applicant will receive an email “Course Enrolment Offer Notification” including a link to the Online Applicant Portal with their login credentials (Username and Password). The applicant will then be prompted to make an application, asking for all the required details, attachments and supporting documents.

Applying for a Scheduled Course – step-by-step guide:
The Applicant is presented with the contact details screen where they fill in their contact details or update them if they have previously started an application.
The next screen has some general questions that the applicant will need to answer to continue.
After payment, the applicant can then choose the audition/interview timeslot they wish to attend.
Paradigm will then mark the application as "Completed".
The Applicant has the opportunity to finalise their application at any time within the defined dates of the application time period, and the scheduled program offer start date and scheduled program offer expected end date.
Upon continuing an application, if the applicant has already "signed" the application (where they type their name and we prefill the date), they will be presented with the scheduled unit selection screen. If they have not "signed" the application yet, they will begin from the start of the application with the contact details and continue.
The steps described above "Create a new application" also apply when the applicant wishes to continue an existing application.
Upon completion of the application, an applicant still has the ability to change their enrolled session, at any time before the Online Applicant Portal period or the scheduled program period ends.
SUCCESS:
Alternatively, you can watch a demo clip below on how an applicant can apply to study:
All the forms, fields, labels, file attachment requirements, etc. are customisable as discussed in the section, depending on your requirements and specifications.
The workflow or the design of your required information section (APPLICANT DETAILS to AUDITION / INTERVIEW, in the workflow screenshot above) in your Online Applicant Portal can also be customised. Adding the sessions for the purposes of billing and payment is optional.
Click the "NEW APPLICATION" button at the bottom of the course summary window (the button text is configurable using the label student_summary_addNewApplication, see in Paradigm).
The next screen is where the applicant selects the course they wish to apply for. The fields that appear on the screen will be different depending on the course the applicant chooses. Fields can be hidden and set as required fields as necessary, see .
The Next screen brings the applicant to the screen where they can upload the required attachments as part of their application, see . Next is the Terms and Conditions section. There are some checkboxes to confirm the student agrees with the terms and conditions, see , and then they will need to write their name to confirm that they would like to apply. This then fills in the current date field.
On the next screen (if the applicant requires an interview/audition, see ) the applicant can choose from the locations that have been scheduled. Once the applicant chooses a location and proceeds, they may then have to pay via an online payment gateway for the audition/interview, if the payment option has been configured.
The Applicant Portal now has the ability to optionally set applications to be free of charge, by setting the application fee (scheduled unit fee) amount to $0, see . This will bypass the credit card payment section of the application process, and take the applicant directly to the session selection screen.
After the applicant has submitted the application, as the Provider, you can check all the details of the information submitted in the application in Paradigm and make a decision of whether to make a course offer, see for further instructions.
