Please Note: Multiple requests clog the system and create confusion.
- So that we may serve you quickly, if you've submitted a support request, do not call or submit another help ticket until we have responded to your first request.
- If you have left a voicemail, do not also submit a support request. This will ensure your inquiry is assigned to a single point-of-contact and eliminate duplicate requests and unnecessary work.
- If you have a pending application in the COOL system, please respond to your evaluator's request via COOL.
