Lock/Unlock
With the release of Campus.2028 (July 2020), users have the ability to request eSignature(s) from parent/guardians and/or students on the Campus Parent and/or Campus Student Portal. This function is only available using the Forms tool. See the Forms tool documentation for additional information.
Users can click the Lock/Unlock button to change the lock status of the document. A locked document indicates no additional changes can be made. If all documents within a folder are locked, the folder itself displays a locked icon.
Locked Special Ed Documents on Portal
Special Ed Documents can be set up to allow parents/guardians and students to view the student's Plan(s), Evaluation(s), Progress Report(s), and Prior Written Notice(s) (Ohio only) on the Campus Parent and Campus Student Portal. See the Special Ed Documents on Portal process article for additional information.
Locked Custom Forms on Portal
Certain Custom Forms will display on the Campus Parent and/or Campus Student Portal once the form is locked.
Note: Certain Custom Forms may have a Start Date and Time set on the Forms tool. Custom Forms on the Documents tool will display on the Campus Parent and/or Campus Student Portal as of the Start Date and Time.
Three conditions must happen in order for a Custom Form to display on the portal:
- The Display Custom Form on Portal option is marked at System Administration > Custom Forms on the Publish step (see the Custom Forms documentation for additional information).
The Portal Preference is marked for the module the form is in at System Administration > Portal > Preferences > Display Options on the Documents section.
Portal preferences are set by school. See the Portal Preferences Display Options documentation for additional information.
- The Custom Form is attached to a student and locked (either on the Forms tool or the Documents tool).
- Parent/Guardian(s) will receive the Custom Form when the Guardian, Mailing, and Portal checkboxes are marked on the Relationships tool for the student. The Parent/Guardian must have a valid Portal account in order to receive the Custom Form. The order of the Parent/Guardian(s) names is determined first by the Emergency Priority on the Relationships tool. If no Emergency Priority is entered, the names display in alphabetical order.
Hover over the locked icon within the form to view a message that the form is locked and published.
Users must have appropriate tool rights to lock and unlock documents. See the Special Education Tool Rights documentation for additional information.

Document Types
Document types depend on the module.
Each state has different requirements for Plans, Evaluations and other forms. State specific information is available in the State Specific Information area for some states. Plan Types and Eval Types are set up in System Administration.
| Document Type | Description |
|---|---|
Evaluation Special Ed only | Evaluations are conducted after a student has been referred to special education. The goal of an evaluation is to determine if the student is eligible to receive special education services based on a disability that interferes with participation in regular education. |
| Plan | Plans are used to summarize the proposed action needed for the student. For Special Education, a plan usually summarize the accommodations and modifications made to the student's education, services provided to the student related to special education, and goals reached with the student and parents' input regarding the student's progress and post-secondary plans. |
| Progress Report | Progress reports describe student progress towards measurable goals defined in the person's plan. Progress reports are linked to enrollments. Multiple progress reports can be created per plan. When creating new Progress Reports, the report can be linked to a specific enrollment using the Link to Enrollment dropdown, as long as the enrollment does NOT have an end date. This includes future and current enrollments regardless of the selected Service Type. |
| Custom Form | Custom forms are editable PDF documents used to supplement documents linked to a person's record. Custom forms can be linked to a specific person and prepopulated with student data on the person's Documents tool, or accessed outside of the context of a person from the Blank Forms area of the index. Examples of custom forms include Notices, Consent forms, and service specific Eligibility forms. Lists of custom forms are available for many states in the State Specific Information area. Use the Prepopulated Data from dropdown to designate which year to pull data from when prepopulating data on Custom Forms. See the Manage Custom Forms on the Documents tool document for details on how to manage custom forms attached to a person. |
Upload Document
The Upload Document button allows users to add additional documents and forms to a student's Documents tool. All uploaded documents will appear under the Uploaded Forms folder.

Document Warnings
Document warnings appear as red exclamation points on documents that meet a set of defined characteristics. The same logic used for document warnings applies to the Process Compliance Report. These document warnings only apply to Special Ed documents.
Image 15: Document Warnings
Warning Logic
Students must have a current active enrollment marked as Special Ed to appear. Documents must also be locked. Document warnings appear based on the following criteria.
- Dates on any Services within the Plan are outside of the Plan Start and End Dates.
- A new IEP, Evaluation, or Notice of Evaluation is due. Warnings will appear for dates as follows:
- 30 school days before student's 18th birthday.
- 46 days before the end date of the current IEP.
- 91 days before a new Annual Evaluation is due.
- 91 days before 3 years minus 1 day from the most recent 3-Year Evaluation Date.
- 59 days after a Notice of Evaluation if an Evaluation has not been completed.
Document warnings are not configurable; the logic is hard-coded. However, Process Alerts can be established in System Administration to send Process Alerts messages for specific special education events.
