• Add one or import multiple preceptors from an Excel file.
• Add courses.
• Search for a student, course, or preceptor.
• Filter students by cohort and/or MyCCPS Status.
• If your school uses MyCCPS, send invitation emails to students through CCPS or share the invitation code.

Improved User Interface to select options for reports
