Program Summary
One-paragraph description of the activity, learning objectives, location, and dates so stakeholders understand the offering without ambiguity.
A concise attachment reduces ambiguity about services, funding, and responsibilities, provides a clear record of parental consent or release, supports audit and reporting needs, and helps meet privacy and disclosure obligations under FERPA and related policies.
Different stakeholders prepare, review, and sign attachments depending on the institution and program model.
Roles may overlap in smaller organizations; always record the responsible office and maintain a copy in the student file.
