How To Search For A Student By Name

You can find documents by searching on a specific value, such as student name. In this particular search, you will want to type in the student name as specified below for the best return results. The search is not case sensitive. Putting an asterisk(*) before and after the last name increases your chances of returning the desired student. This same method should be applied to the first name as well. It depends on whether your student is a current student or not as to whether you need to use the Student Name field or the Pre-App Name field.

1. For Current Student Applicant: Use the STUDENT NAME field if you know the student is in the Student Information System (SIS).
         -OR-
2. Non-Current Student Applicant: Use the PRE-APP NAME field.
3. Put the search value in the following format:
   *last name*   (i.e. *deer*)

HINT: Put an asterisk in the search string will help to narrow your search. For example, "MA*" in the Student Name field or Pre-App field will return all documents for individuals with names starting with "MA" (i.e., MAsters, MAhoney, MAllick).

HINT: Using the asterisk before and after a last name will also assist in locating the student documents. For Example, "*MAST*" in the Student Name field or Pre-App field will return all documents for individuals with names that contain "MAST" (i.e., MASTing or McMASTer).
