semester grades might be missing. Continue to check the system for these missing items
and then re-download the PDF(s).
• The downloaded applications should be kept in a secured location approved by the
University. Example: SharePoint.
• After the review process is over, the application PDFs need to be deleted from the shared
location.
• The only copy of the application record should remain in the Slate system.
• Do not share application PDFs via email.
