year

- slightly less participation than last year, and some results

awaiting the official dept. “submit-button pusher”

- some courses’ tool denied this time (80% compared to 93% last year); various corrections to delinquent list needed for “exempt” courses and course # changes; other causes mysterious

compliance is required
