The new application for admissions is in production. Ron ran his script that searches the entire site for a particular link and replaces it. We're leaving the link to log into the old application until Oct. 23, when it will be removed, so applicants who are in the middle of an application will be able to complete it, without having to start an all new application. I've managed to set up a job that will start in two months to run every evening and remove applications that have not had activity for two months and that where never submitted.
We're also working on how to create accounts for prospective students. They will not receive a vnumber until they have paid the application fee, so it would not be feasible to create the account until then. We could create a trigger that will run the new user script when the payment indicator is updated, but that will not catch all the students that will apply by paper, or if they were unable to pay online. I'm going to be looking into where admissions inserts the student's information in Banner and if I can create a trigger from there. It will be more difficult to let the student know of the account from that point, however, so there are still issues to be worked out.
