Checklist
The Checklist page can be used to review the progress made on
your application. The Checklist checks all required and non-required fields
in the Profile, Application, Documents, and Programs
tab and lists if those fields have been saved or not.

Message Center
The Message Center displays copies of e-mails sent by programs
from the Program Director's Workstation (PDWS) software. Since those e-mails
go through the ERAS system, we are able to provide you with a copy, as
a confirmation of delivery. If the program uses their own e-mail software
to send you an e-mail, then a copy of it would not be available in the
Message Center.
