After logging into MAAPP, you will see your Dashboard, which shows you metrics about the students at your school, including: 

• How many have completed the MAAPP
• How many have completed the FAFSA
• How many have missing residency or other personal documents
• How many are missing an ACT scoreA test required or accepted at all public and many private universities in Mississippi. Scores are used in college admissions, awarding scholarships, and class placement, including honors programs.  The eligibility criteria for certain state-funded undergraduate programs require a minimum ACT score.
• How many are missing GPA information

Students

If you click on Students on the left-hand sidebar, you can see a list of all the students at your school who have filed either an MAAPP or a FAFSA for the selected aid year.

If you click on a student’s name, you will be able to see the Student Details Panel. 

Student Details Panel

The Student Detail Panel consists of multiple tabs that show you a view virtually identical to what the student sees in their own dashboard.  There are multiple tabs within the Student Details Panel: 

• Overview Tab – Includes a checklist of application Milestones and Mississing Documents
• Applicant Tab – Contains the student’s demographic information as provided on the MAAPP or FAFSA
• Academic Tab – Displays the student’s high school information and intended college information
• FERPA Tab – Displays the student’s FERPA release information as provided on the MAAPP
• Documents Tab – Lists all the supporting documents requested for the student, the status of the document, the date it was requested, the date it was received, and the deadline by which each document must be received to qualify for the various programs
• Awards Tab – Displays the program through which the student has been awarded (typically updated in late June/early July after the student graduates in May, once a state aid award has been offered – see Awards Process and Timeline)
• High School Tab – Displays all the high school information the Office has on file for the student, such as GPA, Graduation Date, ACT ScoreA test required or accepted at all public and many private universities in Mississippi. Scores are used in college admissions, awarding scholarships, and class placement, including honors programs.  The eligibility criteria for certain state-funded undergraduate programs require a minimum ACT score./Superscore, etc. If you click the blue “Edit Info” button, you can edit any of the information listed on the High School tab.
