How do manager approvals and supplements work?

In order to assure that program guidelines are followed, employers may require a manager approval to review an employee’s chosen courses or degree. They will receive a system-generated email with instructions.

How is the Manager Approval form sent to me?

ISTS receives the Employee Database File from the Program Sponsor periodically. Once the employee submits their application, an email is generated based on that file. The form is then set up on your account automatically.  

How do recommendations and supplements work?

In order to offer a secure application environment, most recommendations, or other supplement forms required from a third-party, must be filled via that third party’s own account in the ISTS system. In order for you to provide a recommendation/nomination/verification for an applicant, the student must have generated a request via his online application. Then you would have received a system-generated email asking you for your assistance which would include a supplement code.
