Document Attachments

The Document Attachments feature allows you to upload and view documents by application, school year, folder, and document type. This feature is not available in all districts.

If you are logged on as a user assigned to a Document Attachments-enabled role, the Documents button is displayed on various pages in the ASCENDER Student system. If a document is attached, the Documents button displays a note icon.

If you have full access, you can upload and download files. If you have read-only access, you can download existing files, but you cannot upload files.

If you are logged on with a role that does not have security access to Document Attachments, the Documents button is not displayed on any pages.
