In the world of student management, it's essential to keep parent access up to date, especially when there are changes in custody, legal status, or guardianship. This guide walks you through the steps to remove or replace a parent's access in FinalForms, ensuring your student's information remains accurate and secure.

To begin the process of updating parent access, follow these simple steps:

• Go to Manage > Students.

• Click Edit on the student's profile.

• Remove the parent from the Parent/Guardian section.

• Save changes.

This action will immediately remove the parent's access to the platform.

Next, it's important to ensure that the student's forms reflect the current guardianship situation:

• Click View Forms.

• Open Contact Information.

• Remove any old parent details.

• Add new guardian information if applicable.

• Save changes.

As a best practice, it's advisable to clear signatures for significant custody changes and to verify the emergency contact information.

If a new guardian needs access to the student's information, you can easily add them by following these steps:

• Go to Manage > Parents.

• Create or locate the parent account.

• Connect them to the student.

Before you finish, keep these important points in mind:

• Access changes do not automatically update form data.

• Always verify emergency contacts to ensure safety.

• Follow your district's legal guidance for custody cases.
