[Oasfaa] OKPromise Eligibility Lists

[Alexander, Carol]

As most of you know, the Oklahoma's Promise office is in the process of evaluating transcripts for the 2009 HS graduating OKPromise students.  We use the 8-semester transcript, and many have been received but there are still transcripts arriving every day.  I know you are anxious to see if your students are eligibile.  Please know that we are working as quickly as we can to get this information available to you.
 
In the past, the first Eligibility List was not available until July 1st because of the technology we were using.  However, with the new technology this year we are able to post the eligible students to the electronic list as soon as the transcript is evaluated and loaded into the system.  I've listed a few notes below that should be helpful.
 
1.  There are two lists currently available:  
            a.  2008-09 Eligibility - use for determining summer 2009 eligibility (2009 HS grads are NOT eligible for summer term tuition)
            b.  2009-10 Eligibility - use for determining eligibility beginning fall 2009.  The 2009 HS grads will be included in this listing as soon as and if they are determined eligible.  Please note the expiration date on the older students for your records.  Some of these students' eligibility may expire as soon as 12/31/09.
            c.  The Potential Eligibility (2009 seniors) has been taken down to avoid confusion.  The students who are eligible will gradually show up on the 2009-10 Eligibility List.
 
2.  If you have a student who says that he has received his award letter sometime this summer, you should be able to find him on the eligibility list.  (If you cannot, there is a possibility that there is a problem with his SSN.)
 
3.  If the result of the search comes back with "Eligible, no expiration date, Last Name" - this student is eligible, we just don't have an expiration date recorded yet.  This will show up after a disbursement is made.
 
4.  A student showing up as Not Eligible, at this point, could mean that they have not been processed yet.  As we get further into the summer a Not Eligible will indicate a non-qualifier.
 
Feel free to refer students to the FAQ for HS Seniors on our website at www.okpromise.org.  It explains the evaluation process and should help them to understand.  We also have a link on our homepage to a list of high schools who have submitted the final paperwork.  Students can check this list to see if their high school is there or not.
 
We appreciate your patience.  Thank you!
