Subject – Preparing for the Final Aid Transfer - UPDATE
 
 
To find out if you have any pending changes, sign into OPAL.  OPAL will open into your mailbox page.    
 
The left side tracks data change requests for transfers in. The right side tracks data change requests for transfers 
out.  
 
If you have a data change request to which you must respond, there will be a large red number in a yellow circle 
next to “New Data Change Requests.”  If you are waiting for responses, there will be a small black number next to 
“Students with Pending Data Change Requests.”  
 
To respond or review requests, click on the link.  This will take you to a list of the changes.  Click on each student’s 
name.  Toward the bottom of the page is a yellow bar below which are links to the pages with the requested 
changes.  Click on the link.  Changes are highlighted in yellow.   If you agree, click “Accept.”  If you disagree, please 
do not click “Reject.”  Time is short and this just delays resolution. Contact the other district immediately to resolve 
the issue.  
 
If you click on the link and there is only a black box with no highlighted changes, this means that a change has 
gotten “hung up” in OPAL.  Send an email to one of us and we will delete it.  
 
If you have any questions, please contact us immediately.
