ARIeS will not generally allow you to make changes to an application once you have certified and submitted it. However, in some cases a search committee ***may*** be amenable to updating materials.

If you would like to request an update to your application, email the administrator in charge of the search. Look in your confirmation email for contact information.

###    Accessing your application  expand\_more  

**You will require permission from the search administrator to access and update your application.** Contact information for the search administrator can be found in your application confirmation email.

If you have received permission to update your application, log into the applicant portal.  
From the navigation panel on the left, select Your Application.

In the Completed Applications section, find the application you wish to change and click on the Edit link.

###    Updating a reference provider  expand\_more  

From the dropdown menu, select the References section, and click the red GO button.

   ![Screenshot of the Applicant Portal. The Dropdown menu under Personal Information is open, and the second entry "References" is circled and indicated with an arrow.](/sites/g/files/omnuum9441/files/styles/hwp_1_1__720x720_scale/public/ariesmainportal/files/selrefsection.png?itok=Absc1Rjo) 

 

**VERY IMPORTANT:**  
**You must completely delete the reference you wish to change, and then re-enter it with the correct information. Although the system will allow you to edit individual fields, this can potentially damage your application submission.**

Since you will be deleting the reference and re-entering it, you may wish to do a screenshot to preserve the information that you will be re-entering.  
Click the "Remove entry?" button at the bottom of the reference and press Save Changes.

   ![Screenshot of the Reference Entry form. At the bottom left, a checkbox marked "Remove Entry?" is indicated with an arrow and "1. Select." At the bottom of the page, the Save Changes button is indicated as step 2.](/sites/g/files/omnuum9441/files/styles/hwp_1_1__720x720_scale/public/ariesmainportal/files/removeentry.png?itok=21hT962z) 

 

Click the "Add Reference Entry" button, under the last reference entry. This will open a blank reference entry which you can populate with the correct information for the reference. Enter the complete updated reference entry with the corrected information and press Save Changes.

   ![Screenshot of the Reference entry form. The Save Changes button at the bottom is circled with the note "After entering corrected information in the form above, Save Changes."](/sites/g/files/omnuum9441/files/styles/hwp_1_1__720x720_scale/public/ariesmainportal/files/addnewentry.png?itok=GlLFCdQp)
