Optimizer Consideration Forms

Optimizer Consideration Forms are reviewed.

Approvals and denials will be entered into Astra and will reflect what the form was submitted for. This data can be found on Astra under the Detail button in the "Consideration Form" field (lower right-hand side).

Please keep in mind that only consideration forms for Access & Diversity issues and specialized equipment essential for safety purposes (e.g., fume hoods) will be considered. For more information, please see our Optimizer Consideration Form Explanation (below).
