2. In the Information section, scroll down to the Root Cause Domain(s) field. If a student has already been assigned root causes, you will see them listed here.
   
   
   
   
3. To add a new root cause to the student, click Edit to the right of the Root Cause Domain(s) field.
   
   
   
   
4. Check the desired root cause(s) in the drop-down menu, and click the Save button to save your changes.
