11. Review your School Enrollment Numbers (these come from previously existing data).

12. Update the numbers based on your current enrollment.

13. Click Verify Counts.

If your school is a FinalForms customer, you'll enjoy the convenience of having your rosters automatically pre-populate participation numbers in your survey. All you need to do is review the information, verify its accuracy, and submit!

Participation numbers for FinalForms customers come directly from your FinalForms rosters. To correct them:

• Click the sport name.

• View or modify the roster as needed.

• Finalize your changes.

• Return to the survey and continue.

For those who are not FinalForms customers, any rosters you previously uploaded will pre-populate when possible. If no roster data is available, you will need to enter participation numbers in the survey manually.

For non-customers, numbers may appear as zero if you have never assigned students to rosters for previous reporting. In this case, you will need to manually enter or correct all participation counts.

1. Review all numbers for accuracy.

2. Click Submit to send your data to your state association.

You can submit and re-submit your Participation Survey at any time before your state's deadline. Rest assured, the most recent submission will be used by your state association.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your Participation Survey! If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our Support Team at support@finalforms.com. We're here to help!
