Additional Tasks:

Because the pace of each school's Registrar training can be quite different, or because your data might not fully be imported to your live site, below are additional tasks you may or may not have discussed during the training. These are important tasks that don't always get reviewed during Registrar 1 but, if possible, should be completed before Registrar 2. If you are not able to complete these steps at this time because, for example, you are still working with BigSIS to get your data onto your live site, then you might need to complete these steps during Registrar 2 training or after Registrar 2 when necessary. When possible we HIGHLY recommend you complete these steps before Registrar 2.
