When students change schools, you may need to submit outgoing documentation on their behalf. This tutorial walks you through accessing and completing outgoing PAPF submissions for students who previously attended your school, specifically for Texas UIL.
1
Access Outgoing Students
Navigate to the outgoing student submissions in one of two ways:
- From the dashboard, click the Outgoing Students widget, or
- Go to Student Management and select Outgoing Student
Both options will take you to the forms page where you can view all requests for students who previously attended your school.
2
View the Form
On the outgoing student page, you'll see a list of forms. Click View to open the specific form you need to work on.

Review Submitted Documents
Once the form is open, review the documents that have already been submitted:
- Parent-submitted forms appear on the right side of the PAPF
- You can see the status of each form (e.g., Complete)
- The new school's certification form will also be visible, showing that they have submitted their portion
4
Identify Required Action
Your responsibility is to submit the Previous School Certification form. This is the action required from your school to complete the PAPF process.
5
Open and Complete the Form
Click Review Form to open the Previous School Certification form. Complete all required fields with the appropriate information about the student's attendance and status at your school.
6
Submit the Certification
After completing all fields in the form, submit it. Your submission will automatically be sent to the student's new school, completing your part of the PAPF process.
Tip: The PAPF process requires coordination between the previous school (your school), the student's parents, and the new school. Make sure to complete the Previous School Certification promptly so the student's new school can move forward with the eligibility process and participation.
Important: Once you submit the Previous School Certification form, it is automatically sent to the student's new school. Ensure all information is accurate before submitting, as this is an official document in the PAPF process.
Note: After you submit your portion, the form proceeds to the District Executive Committee (DEC) for an eligibility ruling. The sending school is not notified of the DEC's decision — only the receiving school and the student's parents are notified when the ruling is recorded. If you need to know the outcome, contact the receiving school or your DEC Chair directly.
