How do I download my applications?

From the Applications view, you can download all applications to your school at any time in 2 steps:

Step 1: Click the "Select All" applications box.

Step 2: Click the "Export" link from the gray navigation bar.

Once you click "Export", a csv file will automatically be downloaded to your computer called applications.csv.

TIP: If you want to download a subset of applications, you can either click the checkbox next to the applications of interest and then click "Export", or you can apply a filter/search before following the steps above.

Troubleshooting Special Characters

On some operating systems, opening the csv file in Excel misrenders any special characters in the data (for example, characters with accents). If you are working in Excel, you can take the following steps to ensure that special characters appear as intended: 

1. Open a blank workbook in Microsoft Excel
2. Under the Data tab, navigate to Get Data (Power Query)
3. A pop-up window will open. Select Text/CSV and then click Browse to select and upload the applications.csv file you downloaded
4. Click Next
5. A Preview file data window will open. Confirm that following settings are selected:
   1. File origin: 65001: Unicode (UTF-8)
   2. Delimiter: Comma
   3. Data type detection: Based on first 200 rows
6. Click Load

Working in an older version of Excel? You can find complete instructions for preserving special characters using the text import function here.
