Since you mentioned D1.1 in your post:
1.) See Section 4, Part A (in it's entirety).
2.) Is your school AWS "Supported" or a "Supporting" institution?
See Section 6, Part A and Part B (in there entirety).
3.) As for the HOOPLA, see number 1 above.
The logic should come to you in 16 months, stick it out, it's worth the wait.
