• More directed links to particular pages on the Office of the Ombudperson’s website depending on the section (e.g. directly to the Notice of Investigation page or filing an appeal page) 

• More details in the Level I and Level II “need to know” that addresses common questions/worst fears that we hear (i.e. around the incorrect assumption that it shows up on one’s transcript).

For decisionmakers 

• More examples in some of the descriptions to cover different common scenarios.
