Candidates will receive an invitation at the email they entered on their NCSSM application to get into Blackbaud for the first time once the Application Cycle for the Class of 2027 is complete. That specific email has had a candidate profile created for it. It will look like this in your email once it arrives shortly before access is granted to NCSSM’s Student Information System:
After hitting the ACCEPT INVITATION button, you’ll come to this screen:
While your email address is populated at the top, it will NOT work for you to just hit the blue Continue button. Candidates will need to log in at the bottom with with the Google Single Sign-On or the Apple Single Sign-On.
For the Class of 2027, it is required that you use a Gmail or Apple account in order to get into our Student Information System. You will use that verification button corresponding with your email account of choice in order to sign into Blackbaud for the first time with your Apple/Gmail Account. You can simply hit the Continue with Google or Continue with Apple button to immediately get to your Checklist page.
You should now be in the applicant portal and see an option for both a decisions tab and an Admissions Progress tab where you can start interacting with your Checklist:
NOTE: On Gmail, it’s been noted some of these automated invitations go to the Promotions folder of Gmail. Please be sure to check your Promotions folder if utilizing Gmail and follow the instructions below to make the NCSSM Communication land in your inbox:
Your various inbox categories - Primary, Social, Forums, Promotions and Updates collectively make up your inbox. So, in essence the emails are being delivered to your inbox, just not under the right category.
To correct, you can just drag and drop one such message from Promotions to Primary and click Yes on the confirmation black box for all future messages.
