Compliance Form. Only new members are to fill it out. If Amy needs an active member
to fill it out, she will email you specific names. Deadline for new members is September
25. If they do not complete the form, they will not be on your fall roster or grade report,
and they will not have swipe access to your house. Amy will update you in
approximately 2 weeks what new members have completed the form. Familiarize
yourself with the instructions so you can assist your new members with the form
correctly.”
