Searching for Student Records

PowerFAIDS has a robust search system that allows you to easily locate student records you need.

To search for a student record you can:

  • Search by identifier: Find individual or multiple records by entering a single name (first, last, or preferred), SSN, or student ID. You can also enter a list of any of these identifiers to return all matching students.
  • Create an advanced search: Utilize a powerful query builder to create searches that are as broad or as narrow as necessary to find student records that fit the specific criteria.
  • Use a saved selection set: Create searches tailored to specific populations you work with that can be run across your institution, as well as used to drive other institution processes.

Working with the Search Engine

The PowerFAIDS search engine provides multiple distinct ways of searching for a student or population of students.
