Searching for Student Profiles

A student profile is a collection of information that uniquely identifies a student. A number of MAP system tasks require you to first search for student profiles. This procedure explains the basic steps for conducting a student profile search.

Steps

To search for students:

1. In the left navigation pane, select Manage Students.

2. Specify the criteria for your search.

   For details, see Search Criteria Field Descriptions.

   You can search by Student ID, first name, last name, or by specifying a date range during which the profile was created.
