AI · MOBILE-FIRST · HIPAA-AWARE
A college student intake form gathers a student's identifying information, housing or financial situation, and the support-service requests campus offices need to triage cases. Formfy drafts a FERPA-aware intake with AI, sends a mobile signing link, and stores every signed copy with a full audit trail for housing, financial aid, and student-affairs teams.
Built for service businesses that need signed forms before the appointment, activity, treatment, rental, event, or job.

Example workflow
A student-affairs office receives a referral, the office sends the intake link to the student's campus email, the student completes their situation summary, FERPA acknowledgment, and requested releases on a phone the night before, and the first meeting opens on the support plan.
A college student intake form is a structured FERPA-aware questionnaire and consent document a student completes for housing, financial aid, counseling, or other campus services, covering student identification, demographics, financial situation, and support-service requests.
Campus intake content is governed by FERPA, institutional policy, Title IX where applicable, and other federal and state rules rather than a single mandate. Many states recognize electronic signatures on FERPA acknowledgments and releases under the ESIGN Act and UETA.
Describe your office and the services you provide to Formfy. The AI drafts a FERPA-aware student intake with student information, financial situation, support requests, FERPA acknowledgment, and informed consent, and you customize the fields before sending.
You do not need a lawyer to build a student intake, but FERPA and Title IX language is policy-driven — institutional general counsel review is sensible before the intake is rolled out office-wide.
Electronic signatures on campus services intake forms can be legally enforceable under the ESIGN Act and UETA when intent, consent, identity, and records are properly captured. Many states recognize this for FERPA acknowledgments and releases.
Student identification, contact and emergency contact, optional demographics and accommodation data, financial situation, housing context, support-service requests, FERPA disclosure acknowledgment, optional release of information, informed consent to services, and signature with date.
Formfy starts at $19/month for the Basic plan with 100 submissions/month and includes a 15-day free trial. Higher tiers scale up to 2,500 submissions per month — appropriate for offices that handle hundreds of intakes per term.
Yes. Build separate intakes for housing, financial aid, counseling, accessibility, and dean of students. Every section, question, and acknowledgment block is editable.
Formfy supports FERPA acknowledgment language and release-of-information blocks in the intake itself, and stores signed records with an audit trail. FERPA compliance is institutional; pair Formfy with your office's FERPA notice and records-retention workflow.
FERPA limits parental access for students 18 and over without a signed release. Formfy supports an optional release-of-information block on the same intake so a student can authorize parent or guardian information sharing where the student chooses.
Formfy helps generate structured waiver, release, consent, and intake forms, but it does not provide legal advice. Waiver enforceability can depend on your state, country, industry, wording, signer age, activity risk, and how the form is presented. Review important waivers with a qualified attorney before use.
