Add a Student

Enter all data for new students from their enrollment forms and back-up documentation — for example, birth certificate or other legal documentation.

IMPORTANT: If the student has been entered into the state databases — PID, PET, etc. — you want to make sure you have the accurate information to match the information in those systems.
