Forms in the student portal
Last updated: May 7, 2026
When you assign a form to a student, they receive an email and complete the form from their student portal. This page covers what students see and what happens after they submit — useful when you want to understand the experience you're sending them through.
When you assign a form to a student (from their student profile → Forms tab), they get notified and complete the form from their student portal. This page describes what they see.
The email
The student receives an email letting them know a form is waiting for them. The email includes the form name and a link to their student portal.
In the student portal
When the student logs in, the assigned form appears alongside their other portal content. They can:
- Open the form and see all the fields you included.
- Fill in their responses.
- Submit when done.
Field types they'll see depend on what you dragged into the form — text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, signatures, and so on.
When the student submits
After submission, several things happen automatically:
- Their student profile updates with any standard student fields included in the form. Existing values are kept, replaced, or appended depending on the form's If field value already exist setting.
- The full response (including custom Basic and Premium components) appears in the form's Responses tab in your settings.
- You receive an email notification confirming the submission.
When to use Assign to student
Use this when you need structured data from a student already in your pipeline — visa info, document confirmations, accommodation preferences. For anyone not yet on file, use Share via Link or Embed on your website instead.
