Countdown Shortcode

The countdown shortcode allows you to display a countdown tool that you can use for events such as the semester application deadline. This shortcode basically counts down to the specified date.

This bundle is part of an Admissions Initiative and is only enabled on college level sites.

Note: you must have the countdown bundle enabled to use this feature.
