Please note: This functionality is part of a phased release so your institution might not see it yet - please try again next month if it is not available to you currently.
You can send a learner report by email with Compass+. Your learners will need to have their email addresses in Compass+ to use this feature.
If you're not sure if you have your learner emails in Compass+, please visit the MIS Integration page and check that you have the 'Student Email Scope' enabled.
1. Log in to Compass+ using your email address and password - https://auth.careersandenterprise.co.uk/compassplus
