From what I understand, there is nowhere in Populi for students to submit an official request to withdraw, go on a leave of absence, or change programs/degrees/courses. It would be helpful to allow students to submit such requests via Populi in much the same way that they request official transcripts. I believe at least having this feature as an option would be something to explore. The student tab could, for example, have a "Request a Change of Program" option...These features could be tied to student information fields, system tags, statuses, automatically generated emails, approvals, etc. This would also reduce the use/cost of paper.

Jackie Lacava Where are we on this request? Having this set up like the transcript request area would be helpful.

Adam Sentz Jackie Lacava - Folks are definitely using Forms for this. Right now you'd have to send the form to the student, but we're planning to add a way for students to find fillable forms on their own.
