Testing untested opportunities evaluates existing applicant requests against eligibility rules for opportunities that were added or made available after applications were already submitted to the universe. This process must be performed using the Untested Opportunities tab in the Eligibility Center.

When to Test Untested Opportunities
Test untested opportunities when:
- A new opportunity was added to the universe after applicants already submitted their common applications
- An opportunity was toggled to Available after applications were in process
- A common application with eligibility submission was reverted to draft status and a new opportunity with untested rules was added to the universe
Universal Application: Add an Opportunity provides details on how to add a scholarship opportunity, including considerations beyond simply adding it to the list of opportunities in your universe.
Test Untested Opportunities
- Click Search on the upper navigation bar, and then click Eligibility Center.
- Click the Untested Opportunities tab.
- Enter the Name of the opportunity, and then click Search.
- The Untested Count column displays the number of universe requests that have not been tested for eligibility for the opportunity.
- If "No Rules" displays instead, this means that the opportunity does not contain any eligibility rules so a test cannot be completed. For example, this would occur if an opportunity for which all applicants should be eligible was added. In this situation, a rule group could be added that is configured for the opportunity with a rule that all applicants will pass (e.g. GPA greater than 0). Contact Support if you have questions about this situation.
- The Untested Count column displays the number of universe requests that have not been tested for eligibility for the opportunity.
- Click the paper icon to test the untested universe requests against the eligibility rules for this opportunity.
- For applicants found eligible for the opportunity, the system will automatically submit their request for that opportunity if there are no supplemental questions. If there are supplemental questions, applicants can access the new request from their dashboard to submit it.
- It is recommended to communicate with applicants in this scenario because they are not automatically notified about the new request. The Application Draft workload page contains the new requests, so a batch email could be sent from that page.
- For applicants found eligible for the opportunity, the system will automatically submit their request for that opportunity if there are no supplemental questions. If there are supplemental questions, applicants can access the new request from their dashboard to submit it.
