Navigate to '**Settings**' \> '**Form Settings**' \> '**Student Homepage**'. ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hubfs/image-png-Jan-23-2023-12-19-42-8382-PM.png) Please note that the student homepage is only visible to students when they log in. If your application form allows parents to log in, they will only see the parent homepage. On the Student Homepage, there is a configuration option 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. ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Post%2016-png.png?width=688&height=180&name=Post%2016-png.png) You can *edit/customise the welcome message and image* by clicking the '**Edit**' button. You can also see how this will appear to a student by clicking the '**Preview**' button. **Note:** This message and image will only be visible to students logging in to complete the specific form you are working on. These settings do not apply across multiple forms or intakes. **File Upload Guidelines:** - You can upload files with a maximum size of 25MB per file. - Images will be automatically resized to 800x800 or smaller, based on their original dimensions. ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Post%2016%20two-png.png?width=688&height=232&name=Post%2016%20two-png.png) Once you have set your message and image, you can choose which settings to activate to customise the information displayed on the student homepage when a student logs in. ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hubfs/image-png-Nov-22-2022-08-35-10-6129-AM.png) - **Show Student Code** – Displays the unique code assigned to each applicant when their account is created.
