Applicant FAQs - Submitting your Application

How do I submit my application?

Once you have completed your application, go to the Submit Application screen, either by using the yellow button from the Application Statement screen or by clicking on Submit Application in the numbered roadmap at the top of the screen.

On the Submit Application screen the system will display an overview of your application to allow you to review the information you have entered. Please note, you have not submitted your application at this point. You are able to go back and make any changes you feel are required.

Once you are happy that this is the application you wish the University to consider please press the yellow Submit Application button, which located at the top of the screen to the immediate right of the Previous Step button.

** The numbered box at the top of the screen with Submit Application as its label only allows you to navigate to the screen – pressing this box will not submit your application.

I have pressed the submit application button and nothing is happening/the system is just hanging.

The submit application step can take a few minutes as it is dependent on the speed of your internet connection. If it is taking longer than this you may have lost your internet connection or your session in the recruitment system may have timed out. The time-out duration for the system is two hours.

If your Submit Application screen is hanging please close the window down and log back in to the system. Select the vacancy you were applying for and click Apply again. It will tell you that you can now edit your application, click Continue. This will take you back into the application you were working on and all your information will have been saved. Click on Submit Application in the numbered roadmap to move to the relevant screen. Then click the Submit Application button, to the immediate right of the Previous Step button, again. A popup window will appear. To submit your application click OK.

Once your application has been successfully submitted, the system will display a statement on the screen and will send a confirmation email to the email address you entered for your account. Please note, the email providing your account username and password is not confirmation of your application being submitted.

You may also log back into the system using the Log In link in the Your Account box on the right of the University’s Jobs web page and click on the My Applications link, below the Employment Opportunities tab to display a list of all your the applications. Any application you are still preparing will have a status of Draft. The applications you have successfully submitted will have a status of In Process.
