Yikes! Pete, I think SEED is no longer implemented under MOE. The new system is called STELLAR or something similar to that acronym! :D I was in the system when SEED was implemented for students but it doesn't quite work out the way it should. Hence the new acronym. ;)
Should be, if I'm not wrong about it!
