The Fox School of Business knows that 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.
To designate a FERPA-waived contact, your student should follow these steps.
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.
To designate a proxy, your student should follow these steps.
That said, the Fox School has ways to regularly communicate with parents and families.
