The user has the ability to add multiple person(s) to the list, as well as remove any users they have previously added.

After selecting the student, on their Personal Information tab, the FERPA information will be displayed as the TERM in which they completed the form (this can be a term prior to the student’s matric term depending on when they completed it through the Checklist).

By clicking on View Details, you can then see the remaining information including whom the student had authorized.
