The Enter DLHE Survey link appears on the Student Center page if all of the following conditions are met:

A survey exists in the student DLHE record table.
The DLHE survey status is either New or Saved.
The current date falls between the Survey Start Data and Survey End Date defined for the qualifying period associated with the survey record.

The Enter DLHE Survey link does not appear if either:

After clicking the Enter DLHE Survey link, the user selects a survey if more than one survey exists for a student on the Select Survey page and then proceeds to complete the sections A, B, C, D, E, and F.
