If your school allows it, update parent details, student details and application forms from your Parent Dashboard.
Editing Information from the Parent Dashboard
Parents can update their family information, student details, and application forms directly from the Parent Dashboard, provided editing has been enabled by the school.
The Parent Dashboard allows parents to keep application information up to date throughout the admissions process. Depending on your school's settings, you may be able to edit your own contact details, your child's information, and submitted application forms.
If editing has been disabled by your school, the edit buttons will not be available and you will need to contact the admissions office to request any changes.
