Award Letters

The Director of Financial Aid will provide a list of students in the ‘Award Letter’ queue to have award letters printed or emailed. Once printed and emailed, you will need to route those students out of the ‘Award Letter’ queue into the ‘Completed Projects’ queue. To route these students to the ‘Completed Projects’ queue you will need to select these students, then right click on them, select ‘Workflow’, and then ‘Route Anywhere’. A pop-up will appear and at this point you will select the queue that they are to be routed to, which is “FA – Completed Project”.
