<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning FA-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last week WSAC released the specifications for the CBS Eligibility Checker file layout. These details have been passed onto our technical resources. Before the new layout can be migrated to Production, it must go through various stages
of testing. Functional analysts will validate the new layout before we reach out to colleges to participate in user acceptance testing. We will share out a timeline as we approach college testing. In the meantime,
<b><i>the CBS Cruncher will remain available until ctcLink is updated</i></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those that have students that do not meet the 2.0GPA requirement, please refer to the workaround provided in the 10/31 email below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><i>Some colleges have reported that for students who do not meet the 2.0 GPA requirement, the CBS Cruncher file (labeled Export.csv) makes these students ineligible for packaging as their Ok to Award and Ok to
Pay fields reflect No. To identify these students, staff can use the same list of SSNs that was used to download the CBS Cruncher file (Export.csv), to download the CBS Eligibility Checker file (labeled eligibility-data.csv). Filter the CBS Eligibility Checker
file (eligibility-data.csv) based on 2-Year/Transfer value in the OKtoAward column. If these students are eligible for awarding, the following options are available:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:middle"><i>Load the CBS Cruncher file (Export.csv) as is. For the students identified in the previous step, manually award these students. Because the ctcLink CBS Eligibility page indicates
they are ineligible, it is recommended that staff make note of the true eligibility on the FA Status page.<o:p></o:p></i></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:middle">
<i>Alternatively, for those comfortable with editing the CBS Cruncher file (Export.csv), update the relevant OktoAward/OKtoPay field(s) for the identified students to a value of Yes. When you are ready to save your changes, select
<b>File</b> then<b> Save As</b>. Be sure to save the file as <b>CSV (comma delimited) (*csv)</b> so that SSNs with leading zeroes remain intact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt">We are sharing an update regarding the remaining item from the list below:
<b>CBS Eligibility Checker</b>. Since our last update on the CBS Eligibility Checker, WSAC has added an additional field to the CBS Eligibility Checker layout for DOB. Once we have the technical specifications for the changes made to the csv layout fields and
related translate values, we can modify our CEMLI to accommodate the changes. In the meantime, the CBS Cruncher will remain available until ctcLink is updated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt">Some colleges have reported that for students who do not meet the 2.0 GPA requirement, the CBS Cruncher file (labeled
<i>Export.csv)</i> makes these students ineligible for packaging as their Ok to Award and Ok to Pay fields reflect No. To identify these students, staff can use the same list of SSNs that was used to download the CBS Cruncher file (<i>Export.csv</i>), to download
the CBS Eligibility Checker file (labeled <i>eligibility-data.csv). </i>Filter the CBS Eligibility Checker file (<i>eligibility-data.csv)</i> based on 2-Year/Transfer value in the OKtoAward column. If these students are eligible for awarding, the following
options are available:<o:p></o:p></p>

types. Yes/No prompt for currently enrolled in the prompted term. In addition, criteria has been added to limit the results to those pursuing FA eligible programs (academic plans with a short description of '9'). Student accounts that have been marked as fraud
have also been eliminated. Please note that feedback received from FAST was that Residency should not be considered as a criteria in this query, rather, it should be checked in the system at the time of awarding.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

the CBS Cruncher available until our system is updated. While we work to modify our CEMLI to accommodate the changes, we recommend that colleges continue to use the CBS Cruncher file when running the CBS Import process. For those unclear on which CBS file
has been downloaded from WSAC, the file generated from the CBS Cruncher will be labeled
