Creating a Note on a Student Record

How to add a note in SS&E

Utilize the Notes feature to capture and share vital student information that is not found in the standard SS&E fields. 

  • Notes can be entered by anyone with access to at least one note type in SS&E.
  • Note Types are role-based. Only users with a permitted role can create and view notes associated with a specific note type.
  • By design, each note is associated with a note type.
  • If a user does not have any role with permitted note types, they will not be able to add/create a note within SS&E.
  • Notes allow for a transparent view into the student record and allows for the student success network to stay aware of student issues, communications and anything that may be relevant to student success.

Notes can be added to a student record from the following areas in SS&E:

  • Student record
  • Direct message
  • New/scheduled message form
  • Student filter/bulk action menu
  • Pipeline message via "Send Email" automation
