Amend Special Ed Documents

Tool Search: Special Ed Documents  

The Amend tool allows users to make changes to locked plans. This option is not available in all states. The Amend tool may look different depending on which version of Campus used.

IEPs must be locked to use the Amend tool. A PDF copy of the IEP, prior to it being amended, can be created. See Special Ed Preferences for more information.

IEPs can be amended after the End Date of the plan has passed as long as the Amendment Date falls within the plan dates.

New Look Amend Process

Users can Amend a document in the New Look of Campus with any of the RWAD tool rights. When a user does not have any tool rights to Amend, the Amend button is grayed out.

For more information, see the Special Education Tool Rights article.

Certain states have plans with the New Look of Campus. The Amend process for New Look plans is different from Classic View process.
