To create an application form for your course, go to your Cohort Settings. There you'll have the option to turn on and edit your course application,

You can use applications on a cohort-by-cohort basis. If you'd like one of your cohorts to use an application, but not another, you can select which cohorts are using applications and which are not.

Once you enable your application, select "Update Application" to edit the questions students are asked.

The application will come pre-populated with the following questions:

You can disable questions 3-7 if you prefer. And, you can add as many custom questions as you'd like after that.

The current question types available for your cohort applications are short answer, multiple choice, multiple select, and rating. You can choose whether responses are required or optional.
