Supplemental Questions configured for TADS Admissions can now be set to a “Document Upload” format. This question format will be associated to an Admissions Document Requirement and can be set as either required or optional.

This new Document Upload option will appear like any other supplemental question during the parent/guardian completion of the Admissions Application, but instead of being asked to respond to a question, the user will be asked to upload a file to fulfill the document requirement. If the question is required, the user must upload a file in order to proceed with the application. If the user is resuming an application and has previously uploaded a document, they will not be required to upload additional documents in order to complete the application.

Fixed an issue where the event time displayed in Ravenna Hub could differ from the time shown in the registration confirmation and reminder emails. Event time slots are now displayed consistently across Hub and all event-related communications.

Fixed an issue where forms with both and enabled did not consistently recognize updated responses in real time. In some cases, users needed to refresh the page before validation updated and the form could be submitted. Form validation and auto-save now update correctly without requiring a page refresh.

Fixed an issue where families selecting the option could incorrectly see a confirmation message indicating they had accepted an offer. This occurred in certain scenarios when a student had multiple decisions. Messaging now correctly reflects the selected waitpool action to reduce confusion for families.

Resolved discrepancies between Dashboard metrics and Funnel Statistics Year-to-Date data. Reporting now aligns consistently across visual charts, hover states, and category breakdowns.

Fixed an issue where the “Applying to Grade” field did not consistently populate on certain internal forms when importing SAO applicant records. Data now carries through correctly during the import process.

Resolved an issue where manually entered citizenship information could be overwritten or inconsistently retained following SAO file synchronization. Citizenship data now persists correctly.

Fixed an issue that caused incorrect access behavior on certain student profile pages. Access controls have been corrected to ensure users only see information appropriate to their role and permissions.

Implemented updates to further tighten access permissions on student profile pages. These changes ensure role-based visibility is enforced consistently and strengthen overall access control safeguards.

Resolved an issue where withdrawing and re-registering for the same event did not properly update the Event Registration Queue or Event tab. Event status now updates correctly across Hub and Admit.

Fixed an issue impacting event registration processing when time slots were involved. Registration and related email processing now function reliably without errors.

You asked; we listened. Introducing the new !

The IRS Status is our answer to the questions you have had about whose consent has been provided for direct access to IRS transcripts and data, as well as what data and documents are available for you to review. A quick summary of the IRS Status is as follows:

- Consent has been provided, and all expected transcripts and their data are processed

- Consent has been provided, and we are awaiting IRS processing

- The parent/guardian has opted out of providing IRS consent; they will manually complete the full application and upload all documents

- The parent/guardian has revoked consent. Any data and transcripts already processed will remain available for review, but no further updated data or transcripts will be processed

- The information sent to the IRS does not match what's on file. This is typically a discrepancy of the taxpayer (parent/guardian) name or their home address when they last filed. This is fairly uncommon, and families may update their information to be resubmitted.

- The business information sent to the IRS does not match what's on file. This is typically a discrepancy in the business name or address.

- This will typically apply to Parent/Guardian B. A link has been sent via either email or text for the parent/guardian to provide their consent, and they have not yet taken action.

The biggest pain point expressed by you, following our initial Easy Apply rollout, has been the ambiguity of what it means if a parent or guardian has provided IRS consent and whether all the data and documents you need are ready for your review, causing confusion and your valuable time sunk into tracking down those answers from multiple sources within the Student Folder. Our aim is to maximize the efficiency of the time you're spending hunting for information by putting it all in one convenient place.

Updates have been made to the tabs. Let's take a quick tour!

We have added columns for the Parent A IRS Status and Parent B IRS Status, as well as corresponding filters. Since the informs about the state of consent and availability of IRS data and transcripts, we have reserved the existing for any non-tax documents you are requiring families to upload (such as bank and mortgage statements). To help you quickly identify which folders are ready for review, we're highlighting the pencil icon in green as a clear indicator that everything is there.

We have re-vamped the top section of the Student Folder Summary page to bring your important IRS data and documents front-and-center, in an unobtrusive, expandable drawer. When collapsed, the top of the drawer displays the Document Status and the Parent A & Parent B IRS Status. Expanding the drawer gives you a visual of all tax transcripts (both individual and business) and the Financial Baseline reports, which help to summarize that tax data. If there are any outstanding documents, we are also displaying those here.

We have given a quick facelift to the top of this page and dropped in the same easy-access drawer from the Student Folder Summary page.
