2) SAP - Quick Notes - powerpoint in Counseling Discipline OneDrive

To summarize for Counseling: 

1. new forms are posted to MyMC under the FA tab

1. new forms will be converted to fillable PDF, but will take a little to make this happen

1. forms DO NOT need to be signed by Counselor

1. Counselors/advisors need to send e-mail from College e-mail and include required details – will create mock-up to share with Counselors

1. If our processes cause a delay for student, this should be communicated by Counselor to Chair -->FA Director

1. need to attach completed advising worksheet for Max Time

1. student must have change of program of study processed by Registrar before appeal can be submitted

1. not all of this has been communicated with all FA staff; plan is to share this later today

3) Other - SSN - It is important to note that the social security number issue is very important. If students are getting a message that they need to submit forms to the FAO and there is no list of forms needed on their financial aid requirements page, that means they need to verify that their social security number is in the system.  They should call the 5100 number from 10:00-2:00pm in order to verify what we need, if anything.
