What is SIS Proxy Access?

SIS Proxy Access empowers an attending student with the ability to provide a parent, legal guardian, or any other desired individual access to selected elements of the attending student's academic records here at the University of Michigan-Flint.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), requires the University of Michigan-Flint to make available to parents and/or eligible students for their academic records. The SIS Proxy Access User Account is in place to enhance the

University's compliance with those regulations.

What is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)?

For more information about FERPA and the obligations of the University and the expectations and protections of attending students please see the:

• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
• U.S Department of Education
