(Step-by-step instructional video can be found at the bottom of this page)

To begin, click on theĀ WelcomeĀ menu at the top right corner of the Scoir app, then selectĀ School & Account SettingsĀ from the drop-down menu.


IMPORTANT: Your school must have Document Support to use the FERPA Release and Waiver collection options.


Before you proceed, check to make sure that your school has document support enabled by reviewing the Process Applications Materials setting. At the top of the Account Settings page, make sure that Process Application Materials is set to Enabled.


To learn how to activate Application Materials and Document Support, view our Enable Application Material Processing guide.


On theĀ Account SettingsĀ page, locate the section labeledĀ FERPA Release & Waiver Forms.Ā This can be found under theĀ DocumentsĀ heading.

If this section is gray, you do not have the required Document Support settings, shown above.
