New to Fox: Communication Guide

The Fox School of Business knows communication is important for a successful transition to college. We strive to provide you with information and tools to navigate within the university community. 

Temple University will communicate via email with your student directly. Your student can designate a family member as a FERPA-waived contact for a university official to disclose academic information.  

Students commonly grant family members proxy access to their personal information. Students can set up multiple proxies, granting each different access depending upon who they are.  

That said, the Fox School has ways to regularly communicate with parents and families.  

In addition to Temple University’s Parent and Family Experience portal, we recommend that you subscribe to Fox School newsletters: 

  • Parent and Family News – The Fox Update is a monthly newsletter with select articles and events of special interest to prospective and current parents. Read the latest issues. 
  • Student News – The Fox Den is a weekly newsletter with select articles and events of special interest to undergraduate students. Read the latest issues.
