# Adding Educational Information to a Client

Granted that you have proper permissions to edit a client's educational information, you must first select a client through either the Search application under the Case Manager application or by using the Search Clients search bar in the top right of the screen.

Once a client has been selected, navigate to the General Profile application in the main navigation menu.

- Fill out educational information as available
- Press the blue Save button

**Field Details:**

**Last Attended **indicates when the client last attended the educational institution. This can be left blank if the client is still attending the institution.

The** Facility **drop-down** **identifies which location they are attending. These options can be changed by your administration team.

The **Grade **drop-down indicates the current or last grade attended at the institution. These options can be changed by your administration team.

The **Status** drop-down indicates their standing with the institution. These options can be changed by your administration team. 

The **Special Ed?** checkbox indicates if the client is in the special education track of an institution. 

The **Is Primary **checkbox if selected designates this institution as the primary record shown in reports. Only one institution can be the primary.

The **Truancy **drop-down by default indicates how many times the client was truant. As this can be customized by your administrator, some groups choose to make this their truancy status rather than a numerical range.

The **GPA **field is the numerical representation of the client's grade point average if available and applicable.

The **Notes **field allows for general notes about this entry.
