Award and Order Credentials in Bulk allows the authorized users to award and order credentials for the students that have achieved their credentials but are not awarded these credentials.

This page is accessed from the PASIprep Navigation Menu.

The process to award and order is broken into 3 Steps:

1. Step 1 Search - The user enters the desired search criteria for the Award and Order of Credentials. The user has the option to export the records to CSV.
2. Step 2 Confirmation – A confirmation page is displayed to the user (with Search Summary). The user must confirm to proceed with their request of Awarding and Ordering Credentials. The user has the option of exporting the records that were returned in the search to CSV before processing.
3. Step 3 Summary – A summary provides the user with details of the records that were processed successfully or are not processed successfully. The user has the option to export the records to CSV.

The screen presents the data using the PASIprep Multi-step form and PASIprep Stepper templates.
