Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the University may not disclose personally identifying information from students’ educational records (including schedules, grades, and GPA) without the student’s consent. To allow students to share their information with trusted individuals like parents or guardians, Â鶹Porn uses the InfoShare system.

Using InfoShare, students may designate a person as authorized to view their academic records including:

  • Academic transcript (unofficial)
  • Class schedule
  • Final grades
  • Financial aid application requirements
  • Financial aid awards
  • Holds (financial and academic)
  • Registration status

Note: Students allowing access to their records through InfoShare are not waiving their FERPA rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I save information and preferences I enter on the InfoShare page?

The Profile tab automatically saves the information you enter. You can also view recent activity (including the profile changes you’ve made) using the History tab. Same thing with the Authorization tab; it automatically saves the items you’ve selected. If the box next to the item is checked, your designee has access to view it.

Can my designee call the registrar’s office or other offices on campus to discuss the information they see?

No. InfoShare authorization does not grant university officials the authority to discuss your information with your designee. InfoShare gives you the ability to grant access to view – and only view – select information. If your designee has a question about what they are viewing, they should speak to you. If you’d like someone to be able to discuss your confidential academic records with a university official, you must submit a FERPA waiver to the appropriate office. If you need assistance with a FERPA waiver, please contact the registrar’s office at registrar@colgate.edu.

My designee said they can’t see my Student Accounts information. Where can I authorize this?

Student Account information (charges, payments, etc.) is not available via InfoShare. Students, and their designated Authorized Users, view billing information via TouchNet. For questions, please contact the Office of Student Accounts at 315-228-4817 or stuaccounts@colgate.edu.

How do I change what my designee can access or remove access entirely?

Click your designee’s name to expand their profile. Click on the Authorization tab and check or uncheck boxes to adjust their access. To remove all access change the stop date on your designee’s Profile tab and/or remove all checkmarks on your designee’s Authorization tab. Doing either of these will remove all access to your records.

How many people can I list as designees?

There is no limit to how many people you can authorize on InfoShare; however, we caution you to limit your designees to only trusted individuals who are vital to your educational experience at Â鶹Porn.
