Notes offer an additional mechanism to jot down information about a student, share information with other faculty and staff, and create a record of information provided directly to the student. Unlike summary reports, notes are not tied to specific appointments, and they do not have an integrated template.
Because of their flexibility, notes can be utilized in a variety of ways. Some notes can be used to document any important information that should be visible to anyone working with the student, while Summary Reports are used to document certain types of meetings with students, such as academic advising appoints, tutoring sessions, and other services.
For tips on writing student notes, please refer to the guidelines here.
