• Students may grant anyone access to view elements of their student record that are protected by FERPA using the Web 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.
• *Students can grant, update, and/or revoke Proxy access at any time.*
