# How to Edit the Student Homepage in Your Bursary16+ System

## This article will show you how to customise the student homepage, which is the first page students see when they log in to your bursary platform.

Navigate to '**Settings**' \> '**Form Settings**' \> '**Student Homepage**'.

**NOTE**: The **student homepage** is **only visible to students** logging in. If your application form is set to allow parents to log in, they will only see the parent homepage.

 

On the **Student Homepage**, a configuration option is available for how the student's name will be displayed.

If you select **'Preferred Forename or First Name,'** students will be greeted by their preferred name if they have provided one. Otherwise, it will default to their legal first name.

You can also **edit/customise the welcome message and image** by clicking the '**Edit**' *button*. Additionally, you can see how this will appear to a student by clicking the '**Preview**' *button*.
