It is imperative, and a system goal, to provide safe places for all students to be affirmed in their identity and learn in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. In addition, this data will assist local colleges in providing services and creating programs and curriculum designed to support student success within the LGBTQIA+ community.

43. ctcLink performs a secondary Search/Match on this prospect to ensure someone else in the system did not add this person to the database. If no match is found, it will assign the next available EmplID. If a match is found, then the following screen is displayed.
44. This warning will display at which search order number a potential match was discovered. Generally, the concern for this warning is more significant the lower the search order. A match found at search order 20 (First, Last, DOB, National ID) should be investigated, whereas a match found at search order 50 (Name only) may not need to be explored.

45. A second warning may appear if a National ID matches exactly with another individual in the database. A match at this level should require investigation, though it should have been caught in Search/Match.
46. Press OK to add this person to the database.
47. Press Cancel to investigate this individual further.
