OSCAR allows you to add, edit, or delete documents and recommenders on finalized applications to available positions. Note: You cannot make changes to finalized applications to filled or expired positions.
Step 1 - Prepare Updated Documents
Whether you are replacing a document that you have uploaded to OSCAR as a PDF file or a document that you created in OSCAR such as a grade sheet or a cover letter written with the online editor, you must change the Document Label (name). The Update function will not work correctly if you attempt to replace an application document with one having the same name or label as the document currently attached to the application.
- For updated PDF documents, simply enter a unique Document Label when you upload the replacement document to your My Documents tab.
- For grade sheets or online editor cover letters, make sure to change the Document Label before you save your changes.
Step 2 - Attach Documents to Application/Select Recommenders
