How to Approve and Deny Student Participation Requests

After a student requests to participate in a work-based learning opportunity a WBL Advisor must approve or deny the request.

  1. In the left-hand navigation menu, select Manage Work Based Learning Tools

  2. Select Student Requests

  3. Search for a student or filter by the Requested status to see all initial requests

  4. Select Manage in the far-right column of the student request

  6. Select Approve Initial Request or Deny Initial Request

  7. Add a note to provide more information to the student on the opportunity or decision

Note: Once a request has been approved, it can be denied by following steps 1-6 and then selecting Deny Request. Once an opportunity has been denied it can no longer be changed to approved.


How to Schedule an Approved Opportunity

After a student's request has been approved, the WBL Advisor must schedule the opportunity before the student can begin completing required activities. This allows for the WBL Advisor to control when the required activities are available to the student to be completed. This further allows future opportunities to be scheduled in advance, for example the next school year, to allow for planning.
