PAPF/Waiver Question

PAPFs/Waivers from the 2025-2026 School Year and Past School Years: To comply with records retention policies, the UIL staff has already downloaded and archived all PAPFs and Waivers from the previous four school years (2022-2026). School districts are not expected to download these PAPFs unless the decision is made locally to archive these forms.

Completed PAPFs/Waivers for the 2026-2027 School Year

School districts were encouraged to download all PAPFs and Waivers that were completed in the old system in preparation for the 2026-2027 school year.

If a parent indicates during the PAPF screening process that they have already completed a PAPF in preparation for the 2026-27 school year, the school admins will be notified. Access the students PAPF in the Incoming Students section of Student MGMT and upload the pdf of the student’s completed PAPF in the appropriate location.

If you cannot locate the PAPF, you can send an email to uilportal@uiltexas.org and request a copy of the completed PAPF.

Pending/In Progress PAPFs/Waivers for the 2026-2027 School Year

Any PAPFs that were initiated but not completed (DEC approved and submitted to UIL) in the prior system will need to be started anew in the UIL Rank One Portal. Please note that PAPFs in Rank One are a parent-initiated process, which means that PAPFs will populate for school administrators only after a parent/guardian has completed the initial phase of the PAPF process.

Students must be uploaded to Rank One before parents can access or submit any forms. Contact support@rankone.com or join one of the live webinars via the link below if your school needs assistance with your student upload process.
