Proxy Access
General Information
Students have rights under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) related to their education records. FERPA limits the release of non-directory student information without the student’s explicit consent. Shippensburg University students may grant others, such as parents, guardians, employers verifying grades for tuition reimbursement purposes. etc., permission to access certain information in self-service Banner. This is referred to as granting proxy access, and the person to which the access is granted is referred to as a proxy.
Proxy access is controlled exclusively by the student. The student is responsible for setting up access, controlling the date range the access is in effect, and the information the proxy can view. A proxy can view information, but the proxy cannot make any updates to the information on behalf of the student.
Any questions or concerns related to access as a proxy should be discussed with the student.
