Data Analysis• Students would benefit from a process to continually remind them to request certification.

• Suggestions included obvious signage around the office reminding them to request certification. Web 4 reminder was suggested. Involve student workers.

• A large poster of green color so to mach the Request for Certification will be ordered, and placed in the front where students site and as well as out side the office before entering.

• We discussed on what should be on the poster so to draw attention, for example, “$ dollar singe or how do I receive my money, certification for benefits, what do I do to get my money.”

Additional Highlights

We learned that because of the large amount of information that Vet students receive initially that often crucial information falls between the cracks. Therefore, we have taken a proactive stance to ensure that we provide information in multiple ways.
