Expanded administrative control of your financial accounts, financial aid and academic record information include:

• Proxy Assignment for Student Financial/Financial Aid information – Would you like to authorize a designee to access your financial records or pay a bill on your behalf? A Proxy Assignment enables you to do just that by allowing you to create and validate a separate self-service account for a designee of your choosing. Your designee will have access to your financial account information and payment functions. You can complete the Proxy Assignment form online to set up account access. Once activated, your designee has access to your student financial information only. Interested in designating someone to also speak on your behalf to TESU staff? Authorize a Proxy to your financial information.
• Student Records Release/FERPA Consent Authorization – As an adult-serving institution, TESU prefers to work directly with students on academic and administrative issues. However, some students would like to authorize us to speak to a family member or other designee on their behalf. Students can now use their credentials to provide us with the name of a designee with whom we can discuss their academic information. The process allows the designee to discuss matters pertaining to your academic records, financial account information, financial aid, final course grades and registration.
• Student Agreements – There is now a Student Agreement that explains University policies and expectations about student conduct and progress. Moving forward, all students will need to ‘agree’ to this statement on Academic Integrity and Academic Residency Requirements before registering for courses. We encourage you to agree to this statement now so you can continue to register seamlessly in upcoming terms. Students can print these agreements for their records.

Watch our demo video to learn more about activating consent authorizations and student agreements:
