Searching for an applicant

Using the Omni Search (search bar in the upper right corner of most Slate pages), you can search for a Person Record using any of the following criteria:

• First and last name (in either order)
• Preferred name
• Campus ID (if the record has one)
• Applicant email
• Applicant phone number
• The Person Record reference number (a unique ID for each prospective student in Slate; this is what students are provided in their Slate application portal).

Searching for an application

1. Search for the applicant using the search methods above
2. Click into the Application Tab, will be located near the top of the page underneath the applicant's name (see screenshot below). There may be multiple Application Tabs if the applicant has applied to multiple programs. At the very top of the Application Tab, you'll see the application title, which for the example below is MS 933EDU - Spring 2025. This title is comprised of the Academic Plan code (MS 933EDU) and the entry term (Spring 2025).
