Upon testing the Applicant Gateway yesterday, it still does not allow us to enter applications. Programming changes are required so that students are not required to complete fingerprinting or other background checks. We are continuing to work with the HR team to resolve, but we will not be able to meet the start date of 10/21 as we originally hoped.
 * __Application Processing Update__**

Best case scenario is that students will be able to start work on Monday, 10/28, though there is a strong possibility that start dates will be even later than that. We realize this makes it challenging to make plans with students and industry partners; our office will continue to keep your notified of future developments. If you have particular concerns or feedback to share on how these delays are impacting your students or partners, please e-mail our office.

A complete set of application forms for your students are available on our Wiki at http://tinyurl.com/wblrc-SIF. (If you or your students have difficulty accessing this website, please call us at 718.391.8558).
 * __New Application Forms__**

To make sure we are ready to process students as quickly as possible when the time comes, please help us by doing the following:

1) Complete the attached **** by listing all students that you are nominating at this time. Please complete this in Excel, and e-mail us the Excel document. 2) Complete the attached **File Not Found** and send to all your host organizations for signature. (This document must be completed only once per host company; it will cover all locations and students placed with them). 3) **Please discard and erase all copies of old application forms.** Forms have been revised to comply with Federal, State and City policy. Applications submitted on old forms cannot be accepted.

__Additional Notes:__ Per HR policy, NO students may work or be paid until our office has sent a confirmation that the student is approved to work. Students who work before this notification will not be paid.

Please ensure that all forms are typed and all information is provided; missing information or illegible forms may cause delays.

Thank you for your patience and support during this transition.
