*Please note: Linked Apps only apply to UNC/NCICU institutions*

Overview

For institutions that prefer to route applicants to a specific, non-CFNC application, but still want to be able to connect with those applicants... there's a solution!

The Linked Application

The Linked Application provides a way for applicants to select your institution in the Application Hub.

Whenever they click on your application, they will see a single page with information about your instution/application, campus contact information, and disclaimers about leaving the CFNC.org website.

If applicants click on the "I understand" button, they will be sent to a URL that you provide and they will be considered "In Progress" applicants on CrossConnect.

Elements of the Linked Application

There are some standard elements to the Linked Application: 

A Message From the Campus - A section for you to complete with any details you'd like to relay to the applicant

Please Note the following - A section for you to indicate any especially important information for the applicant to know, separately from the Message From the Campus. This can include transcript information. 

Campus Contact Information - A section for you to list as few or as many contacts for applicants to connect to. If you have First-Years and Transfers that would have different primary contacts, that would be a good place to display. 

How to Use This Application - standard language provided by CFNC
