IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR AUTHORIZED USERS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, also known as FERPA, maintains that a student's educational and financial records are private and confidential. The information contained in these records may only be released with consent from the student.

The student may choose to grant online access to his or her student information to an Authorized User(s).  By virtue of granting this access, the student consents to the sharing of his or her specific records with the Authorized User(s). Students have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

If a student chooses to set up Additional Authorized Access, the Authorized User will receive an email message with a link to finish the account setup and create a password. A link to MyView will also be included in the email.
