Description

**User Story**
As a Student Parent or Partner, I need to be aware of important changes in content (i.e. popup messages) - so that I can ensure that I have the correct information.

**Context**
- These issues were uncovered during our Accessibility Audit conducted by CITZ in March of 2024
- Detailed Spreadsheet for Student s inserted inline and also attached here: [2024_Supporting Information_Audit.xlsx](https://api.zenhub.com/attachedFiles/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBN1RsQXc9PSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--401fd26be3124e38981234d207ea635590b5dcd2/2024_Supporting%20Information_Audit.xlsx)
- In content implemented using markup languages, status messages can be programmatically determined through role or properties such thaat they can be presented to the user by assistive technologies without receiving focus.

**The Problem**
When using the screen reader, I was not made aware of any popups with status messages or other important information.

**Supporting User**
The following Supporting User Pagers were Reviewed
- [ ] Search for application

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] In the Search for Application page, make users aware of important changes in content (i.e. popup messages) - even when they are using assistive technology like screen readers.
