Completing Graduate Application Reviews Without Committee in Slate

Graduate program reviewers use Slate Reader to review applications without committee approval by adding applications to their queue, completing the review form with recommended decision and advisor assignment, then routing to EPC for processing. The workflow moves applications from the Program Review bin through the reviewer's queue to final submission via the action form.
