Override student's special education status

Aspen automatically updates a student's special education status as you complete steps in the workflow a method of coordinating multi-step processes involving one or more users. However, there may be times when you need to manually set a status. If you have special privileges set by your Aspen system administrator, you can override the special education status.

Note: Overriding a student's special education status does not affect or change any workflows or IEPs for the student. You need to delete or amend IEPs separately.
