The success of your student is important at Terra State! The following information
provides ways on how you can support your student through their educational journey.
Mental health is extremely important to us at Terra State. We know college is stressful
and are here for you to talk, plan, coach, and listen.
Delegated Access vs FERPA Consent
Delegated Access allows someone to look at your records any time of day without assistance from Terra
State.
FERPA Consent allows Terra State employees to discuss a student’s record with another party.
Delegated Access (Proxy)
Delegated Access via Proxy Overview
Shared access to student information is easy with Proxy. Once the student sets up a Proxy (NOTE: This link only works for active students), the authorized user can access the student’s information without contacting anyone
at Terra State.
What is a Proxy? A proxy is an individual that a student gives permission to view
certain screens of their online information. Students can designate the following
individuals as their proxies: parents, spouses or significant others, advocates, employers
and even organizations that provide scholarships. The parent/guest will receive their
own username and password to view the student information.
Delegated Access Options (Current)
Student Holds – If the student has any holds on their account, you may be able to see it listed
on this page. You should be able to view the Hold Type and the Processes Affected by
it. Some holds are sensitive and may not display on the page
Student Grades - You can select a term or all terms and then the course level. You will see the GPA
summary, a list of courses and any midterm and/or final grades recorded for the student.
If you select the course title or CRN, you will be able to see more detailed information
about that specific course.
Student Profile – This is the student’s personally identifiable information (PII), such as email,
phone, emergency contact, status, advisors, and majors. A schedule of classes is available
from this page as well.
Week at a Glance - This screen displays the student’s class schedule by day and time. You can only
view this page, not drill down through the hyperlinks to more course details as the
note states for the student.

Please note: Delegated Access (Proxy) does not give Terra State employees permission
to discuss a student’s records with a third party. A FERPA Release, separate process, must be completed by the student for an employee of Terra State
to discuss the student’s records with any individual.

What is a FERPA Release
What is FERPA? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student
information.
A FERPA release will allow Terra State employees to discuss a student’s information
with the named individual on the release. Delegated Access, outlined above, allows
for self-service viewing of certain records 24-7. Delegated Access does not give Terra
State employees the right to discuss a student’s records with another party.
Creating FERPA Consent
To grant FERPA access, follow the steps below:
Go to Banner Self-Service, select the Student tab or link, select the Student Account link, then select the FERPA Consent link.
Select “add a contact” or an existing contact can be modified by selecting the Order
number.
