Student Proxy Access

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), prevents third parties (parent, spouse, employer, etc.) from having access to your student record without your consent. You, the student, can grant access to third parties to your student record though Student Proxy Access. View Wright State University’s FERPA Policy.

What is your student record? A student record can include your active registration, detail schedule, final grades, holds, graduation application, and academic transcript. Student records can also include billing information and financial aid such as the student billing account, financial aid application (ISIR/SAR), disbursement records, professional judgment documentation, verification records, cost of attendance, financial aid counseling documentation, financial documents, and your financial aid history.

Students can authorize proxy access through WINGS Proxy Management. Students can assign access for their proxy to view specific WINGS Express content within a Student Proxy Access portal or allow verbal access when contacting Enrollment Services or Lake Campus Enrollment Services using a passphrase. NOTE: Proxies cannot view Billing or Financial Aid Records online via Student Proxy Access. Proxies can only verbally receive billing and financial aid information using the passphrase. If you are looking for information on authorizing a user to view your online billing information and make payments on your behalf, please see the Parent/Authorized User - Billing  content on this page.

Anyone with a valid email address can be granted Student Proxy Access including parents, guardians, spouses, and other third parties (employers, agencies, insurance, etc.) the student deems appropriate.  The student has complete control over who has access, what information the proxy has access to, and the length of time for which the proxy has access.

Below you will find instructions developed to walk you through the Proxy Management system. The Student Instructions page will walk a student through the process of setting up and maintaining proxy access. The Student Proxy Access Instructions page will address the system from the perspective of the proxy. This page will explain how you log into the system after a proxy account has been created for you and how to navigate the system.
