Packaging Student Files

When packaging student files, one of the easiest and most practical methods is to use classification folders. Classification folders come in 4, 6 and 8 sections and allow you to organize each student’s file in the same fashion.

While the Office of EMS does not require a specific method/order for student and course files, we do have some suggestions for how to make this process simple and easy while at the same time ensuring that instructors maintain appropriate paperwork on all students.

OEMS suggests that instructors purchase 6 section classification folders for use for both student and course files. Listed below are the forms/paperwork which we suggest be organized in each of the various sections of the folder.
