What is the Proxy Access System?
The UAH Proxy Access System allows a student to authorize a person to view certain pages that contain information specific to his/her academic records at UAH.
How does the Proxy Access System work?
UAH students can grant proxy access to anyone with a valid email address. This can include parents, guardians, employers, or anyone that the student wishes to grant access. The student has complete control over who has access, and what information they are able to view. The student can also update and delete access at any time. Students can have multiple people designated as a proxy, and each person can have varying access.

Does the Proxy Access System replace FERPA?
No. Having access to the Proxy Access System does not allow the individual to discuss student educational records with university staff. The Proxy Access System is a relationship strictly between the student and those they designate as proxy users.
