I welcome the changes which, hopefully, will be brought about in the SUSI system. I would suggest the following issue that could be addressed at an early stage. During this debacle, there was much criticism made of students not completing forms or supplying the correct documentation. It was an excuse in many cases. I suggest that during late August and early September there be a campaign aimed directly at the students, for example, through the students' union, to try to ensure that all of the documentation is in place at an early stage so that there is not any delay or it cannot be used as a delaying factor if they have provided the proper documentation.
