Web Proxy Management System for Proxies

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly referred to as “FERPA” or the “Buckley Amendment”), students have a right to consent to disclosures of their Education Records.

Students may grant anyone access to view elements of their student record that are protected by FERPA using the Proxy Management system in Banner Self-Service. Those granted access will be referred to as a “Proxy.” Proxy users will be given their own login information to access the system.

Students may also grant their Proxy permission to speak to designated College representatives (via telephone) about data on authorized pages as indicated in the Proxy Management system.

Billing information is not available in Proxy Management. Students can grant anyone permission to access their financial record and pay their bill using TouchNet. Please refer to the Student Billing Information website for more information.

IMPORTANT!

  • *Students can grant, update, and/or revoke Proxy access at any time.*
