Happy end of calendar year to you all. I hope the holidays treat you well and you return to the new year renewed.

Please take a moment to review the information below pertaining to SF Updates:

QRG Updates

• Request Missing Student National ID (SSN) Communications
  • New for 2024, the SF Support Team has created institution-specific 3C Communication setup for 1098-T Electronic Consent Invites and Missing SSN Letters. These institution-specific codes will prevent the prior years' issue of colleges sending out letters to students from different institutions. The previous global setup will still be available but continues to have the risk of mistakenly including students from other colleges. Please submit a ticket asking for these new codes to be “turned on” if you are interested.
