View and organise student requests
user WRL Coordinator & WRL AdminTime4 minutes

Once students show interest in an opportunity and request it, you can view and organise the list of requests. Use the list as a chance to view more information about the opportunities your students are requesting, as a shortcut to the student's profile to view the rest of their work in Xello, and update and manage the status of the request.
