New Student forms are dynamic forms used specifically for the new student enrollment process. Several New Student forms are included automatically and already have columns (i.e., fields) added. These forms cannot be deleted or renamed; however, you can modify some of the default settings for each form column.
To edit a New Student form, click under Options. The form opens on the Form Editor page where you can make changes.
The Name, Campus, Editable, and Visible fields display the default information and cannot be changed. These forms cannot be archived.

Use this column to group related fields together in the form. For example, you could type “Mailing Address” for all fields that are related to the student’s mailing address.
