Nominations: How do I distribute nomination forms? How do we do nominations?

For nominations, Advisors can use the nomination form under the Getting Started tab in the Advisor Portal or create a Google Form that can be distributed to every student. Google Forms can sort the responses for you in an Excel document, which can make it easier to review. A sample Google Form for nominations can be found and copied in Getting Started in the Advisor Portal. Look under Step 3 Nominations: Facilitate & Review --> Nomination Form. 

Tip: Have students complete the Google Form when they register for classes.
