Verify the necessary education provider records exist, or create new education provider records, if needed. Refer to “Contacts and Licensed Professionals” in the Accela Civic Platform User Guide.
Create and enable an education record containing information about the degree.
Associate the education record with the education providers that offer the degree.
Associate the education record with the corresponding record types. You typically associate education records with new license record types.
You must complete those steps for each education provider, education record, and licensed professional record type you need to track.

Deleting Education Records
Because of the many ways you can connect Education records to other records within Civic Platform, such as Provider records and Licensed Professional records, the process of deleting an Education record disables it; it does not remove or delete it from Civic Platform. Instead, Civic Platform performs a “soft delete,” and changes the record's status to Disabled. Disabling the record allows the record to remain in any previous associations, but prevents you from using it again. If at some point in the future you need to use the disabled record, you can edit the record to change its status to Enabled.
To delete (disable) an Education record
Access the Education Maintenance portlet (Navigating to the Setup).
The Education records that currently exist in Civic Platform display.
Select the Education you need to disable, and then click Delete.
If you associated the selected Education record with a Provider and/or a Licensed Professional Record Type, you cannot delete it.
If you associated the selected Education record with a Provider and/or a Licensed Professional Record Type, Civic Platform changes its status to Disabled.
