Student Communications is a student banner application that enables the user to review and manage existing communications records on a student-by-student basis. Individual student communication records may be filtered by key criteria, and added, edited or deleted.
Once the application has been launched, users must retrieve and select a student through the Student Banner.
Student Communications is located under the Communications menu in Q.
For each individual student, the set of Communication records will appear. For some students there may be many records. The ability to filter records will help to find specific types of records: 
- Communications Category – The default is ‘All’, but you may wish to select a specific category to review.
- The column headers act as filter fields. You may select a specific Communication Type, or input an Entry or Outcome date, or select an Outcome to find specific Communication records. To clear a filter field, click the red x on the right.
- When you select a record, it becomes highlighted at left, with the detail data for the record displayed at right.
For the selected student, click the Add button.
Complete the record by entering the data:
- Communication Type – Select the desired type. This field is required.
- Entry Date – Indicates the date the communication was initiated.
- Outcome Date – This date is intended to indicate the date of the recorded Outcome.
- Outcome – Indicates the outcome of the communications event such as 'Letter Sent', etc.
