<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a SARA member institution that is not listed on the latest Composite Score spreadsheet (2018-2019). They have reached out to the ED to see why this is the case, but they are set to submit their renewal soon. The NC-SARA Manual states
to use the most recent Composite Score by the ED, so I think it would be an option to use the 2017-2018 score since it is the most recent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone come across this issue and do you think it would be appropriate to use the 2017-2018 score since the new one is not posted?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate being able to reach out to this group. Any thoughts would be helpful.
