Re: The final hours to the application deadline-Don’t wait until the last minute

Good morning applicants,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend putting the final touches on your applications. We have almost 3000 open applications in the system, with just less than 600 applications submitted.

Given our recent numbers we expect approximately 1100-1300 applications to be submitted in the next day and a half before the deadline of 4 pm MST October 4th.

If possible, try to be on the front end of the next 24 hours as the last several hours may get very busy and result in technical errors within UCAN submission and with the payment system. Think of 1000s of people trying to get through one door at the same time.

We want to see all of you successfully submit:

Tips:

Be on Google Chrome (only try an alternate browser if Chrome does not work)

Have a stable internet connection

Be aware of any local firewalls and security settings.

Have your payment details ready

Press payment submission only once

Be patient don’t try to submit repeatedly in quick succession -The system looks at this as multiple individuals compounding the problem (now many 1000s of people trying to get through the door) OR if you are in the queue and the payment details are the same you will get an error and be locked out.

Regrettably, any resulting technical issues on the final day resulting in an inability to submit will not be taken into consideration.

We hope to see as many successfully submitted applications as possible.

Best of luck
