What this does​

Use Counselor Notes on the student's profile to save private notes for later follow-up.

These notes are for counselors and are not visible to students.

Before you begin​

  • Open the student from your Students list.
  • Open the student's profile page.
  • Start on Overview, where Counselor Notes appears.

Steps​

1. Open the student's profile​

Go to Students and select the student you want to update.

2. Go to Overview​

On the student profile page, open Overview.

The Counselor Notes section appears on this tab.

3. Start a new note​

If the student already has notes, select Add Notes.

If the student does not have any notes yet, select Add a note.

4. Enter the note​

In the note window, enter the note in Add your notes.

Use this for details you want to keep for yourself or other counselors, like:

  • follow-up reminders
  • meeting takeaways
  • concerns to revisit
  • helpful context for future outreach

5. Select Add note​

When the note is ready, select Add note to save it.

The new note appears in the Counselor Notes list on the student's profile.

6. Review or update the note later if needed​

Each saved note shows its date and who added it.

You can:

  • select Edit to update the note
  • delete the note if it is no longer needed
