If you want access to your student’s grades

by Betsy Chapman, Ph.D. ('92, MA '94)

From the Office of the Registrar

If you will want access to your student’s grades, or if you anticipate ever wanting to talk to a University staff member about your student’s educational progress, your student must authorize you to have that access through Proxy Access.

This is a system in which your student can grant you access to view specific views of his/her academic record including schedule of classes, mid-term and final grade and access to their transcript.

The Proxy Access serves as the FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.) release for Wake Forest. For more information about FERPA, or Proxy Access and how your student can authorize you to access his/her educational information, see http://registrar.wfu.edu/proxyaccess/.

We suggest that you talk with your student about the level of access that works best for your family.

Representatives from the Office of the University Registrar will be available in the Benson Center at Campus Services and Information Day, on Wednesday August 23rd to answer any questions you may have about Proxy Access.
