Student Portal Requirements Page

Using requirements pages within PowerFAIDS Student Portal provides you the ability to create and customize pages where students can review and submit documents needed to continue processing their financial aid. Because you may want to use the same requirements page setup across multiple years, we have made these easy to copy.

Tip: You can only use one requirements page per academic year, so if you want to add more to the requirements page for a specific year, you'll need to edit the existing page rather than creating a new one for the same year.

The requirements page feature in Student Portal makes it easy to communicate what is needed from students and to obtain required documents. Some advantages to displaying requirements pages in your Student Portal include:

  • Allow students to safely upload documents: A requirements page provides students with a place to easily upload documents on their own time, expediting much of the financial aid process. It also provides you with a way for students to safely transfer documents as they are uploaded to an encrypted storage area and made available securely in PowerFAIDS.

  • Clearly communicate what is missing: Because the requirements page lists all necessary documents needed from students, this provides you with an alternative way to communicate if anything is missing by clearly listing what students need to do beyond a letter, email, or phone call.
