A Reviewer is a staff user who logs in to the site to review applications and post their recommendation as to whether the application should be accepted, rejected or waitlisted. The Reviewer view of the application is different than other admininstrative views of the application. The key elements of the Reviewer access are:
- Reviewers can see everything that the applicant has answered and uploaded in the application.
- Reviewers can make an internal admission recommendation and include internal comments.
Reviewers will log into the application using the UWM STAFF/FACULTY LOGIN/REGISTER button.
They should have already created an account and received their Reviewer access.
After logging in they will see a list of applicants to the programs to which they have been assigned, based on their security access.
Filter Options: It is possible to set up a filter to display and group the applications by clicking on the Filter Options link (blue link).
- Can Display a specific term or all terms
- Can Display specific programs or all programs
- Can Group by Term, Year or Program
Customize options and then click on the Filter button.

Reviewers have immediate access to everything that the applicant has submitted in their application, including letter of recommendations. After clicking on the applicant name, the application will display on one continuous page.

in the upper left hand corner and choosing Reviewer from the drop down menu.
After reviewing the application, the reviewer will enter an admission recommendation and any necessary comments that only the Program Admin user(s) can see.

Reviewer Access - Customized Version
