Processes & Forms

Administrative activities such as orientation, enrollment, Title IX training, program of study, and other similar tasks are to be completed at your home university.

Student Acknowledgment Form

Students enrolled in Great Plains IDEA courses are required to sign and submit a Student Acknowledgment Form (PDF) to be kept on file at the home university throughout your program. This form allows the exchange of information between the partnering universities. All information is shared through a secure, web-based database. Your campus coordinator will send you the Student Acknowledgment Form. Signed forms should be submitted to your campus coordinator.
