One or more contacts can be linked to any student, and multiple students can be linked to one or more contacts. From the CAMS Enterprise Home page, access the Student Contact form by clicking Admissions >Students >Change Student orAdd Student >More tab.

To add a new contact:

If maintaining an existing contact, use the select filters to locate that contact. If this is a new contact, click Add to open a new detail entry form.

Note: In an effort to eliminate the duplication of entries, it is recommended that prior to adding a new record, you check the list of existing contacts to make sure it has not already been entered.

Select the appropriate Contact Type (Glossary: Contact Type). Contact Type is typically a subset from Primary Contact Type. For example, if the Primary Contact Type is Parent, the Contact Type may be Mother or Father.
Enter contact data.
