Viewing Open Requests And/Or Tasks

Information Regarding a Selected task

When an "Incomplete" turns into a "Withdraw"

When a task is pending and requires action, the case plan will be marked as "Incomplete." After two weeks, students will receive reminder emails indicating that their required action has not been completed. They will continue to receive reminder emails every week thereafter. The final reminder will be sent on the 59th day of the incomplete task, and on the 60th day, the case plan will be withdrawn.

If a withdrawal occurs, do not attempt to change the status back to "Incomplete" or "In Progress." Instead, a new case must be created, and the process will need to start over. Failing to do so will result in the TerpEngage community not accurately reflecting the current status of the case, which may lead to lost progress.
