Completing Checklist Items with a Database Mismatch

Purpose: Use this document as a reference on how to Complete Checklist Items that have a Database Mismatch (ISIR C-Flag) in ctcLink.

Audience: Financial Aid Staff.

When reviewing Financial Aid files, it is common to receive student documentation in response to ISIR C-Flags or Comment Codes (i.e., Selective Service, Citizenship).  

During Financial Aid file review, when setting ISIR C-Flag Checklist Items to "Completed", there is a two-step process before the system fully acknowledges that the Checklist is Completed.  

Step 1) Completing the Checklist on the Checklist Management - Person Page - Set the Checklist as "Completed" in the Checklist Management page and Save.

Step 2) Update the DB Matches on the View Packaging Status Summary Page - Select the appropriate Database Match checkbox on the View Pack Stat Summary page and Save.
