Access to Student Records: FERPA & Proxy Access As required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, Temple University cannot disclose a student’s non-directory education records without the student’s written consent or without proof that the student is the tax dependent of the parent. Examples of educational records include grades, course schedules, disciplinary actions, and financial records.

We encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with your student about FERPA to gain a mutual understanding of the expectations you have of each other regarding your access to their educational records. Once a mutual understanding has been reached, your student can complete a FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access form in their TUportal.

FERPA Waiver

Proxy Access

A student must designate a parent or family member as a FERPA-waived contact for a University official to disclose academic information. To designate a FERPA-waived contact, your student should follow these steps:

A student can grant others permission to access certain components of their information in their TUPortal. This is called granting Proxy Access, by creating an additional login for a proxy. Students can set up multiple proxies, granting each different access depending upon who they are. A valid e-mail address of the proxy is required for access. To grant someone Proxy Access, your student should follow these steps:

1. Log into TUportal. 2. Click on the Student Tools tab. 3. In the Records Channel, click on FERPA Waiver Menu. 4. Click on FERPA Contacts to add or remove a contact.

Note: Students have the authority to make changes to FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access permissions at any time.

1. Log in to TUportal using your AccessNet username and password. 2. Click on Self-Service Banner link under TUAPPLICATIONS. 3. Click on Student menu tab. 4. Click on FERPA Waivers menu item and then select Proxy Access. 5. Click on Add Proxy.
