Re: Withdrawn applications



We keep the applications here for one year in the event that an applicant
changes their mind and decides to attend later. If you are only interested
in the information you could generate an index and collect the information
from the applications that you think is relevant to the current institution.
However, if you choose to keep the applications and make them available for
researchers, you might clear that with legal first. PA is going to ask you
questions like are you the legal successor? What color are the forms? are
they filled out in ink? Are they signed? Were they completed by minors? Are
they available for public viewing? Etc. but I am not like PA so I won't ask
these questions.

I personally would discard the withdrawn applications.  We do not save
applications in the university of applicants who did not come, and I cannot
think of a compelling historical interest in retaining them.   These people
did NOT come, you really don't know WHY they withdrawn, and they could
be "blanket" applications like all colleges and universities get, as well as
preschools and the like.
