SIS Access and Permissions

Who has access to SIS?

College of Education faculty and Staff are possible users for Student Information Systems. Primary users are College Administrative Support and Department Heads. Rigid security and compliance forms are required before access is granted as is the completion of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) training.

How do I get access to SIS?

Persons interested in access to SIS information must complete:

• Security Compliance Form
• SIS Access Request Form
• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) training

The forms can be completed online, using Adobe Acrobat Reader. The FERPA training is an online tutorial which provides a Certificate at the successful completion of the session. The Certificate should be provided with the forms to the Student Academic Affairs Office.

What permission level should I request on my SIS Access Request Form?

Below are descriptions of the various permission levels available. If you have questions, please contact SIS Support.

Department Administration. Users are able to create and modify entries in SIS for current department students as well as applicants. This permission level is ideal for Administrative Support Staff who are primarily responsible for Department level student data.

Department Executive. Users are able to view all current student information but are only able to edit Notes, department wide. This permission level is ideal for Department Heads and Assistant to the Head.

Program Coordinator. Users are able to view all current student information but are only able to edit Notes, for a specific program code. This permission level is ideal for persons working specifically with online programs or other specific program code related groups.

Department Advisors - SIS Lite. Users are able to view all current advisees and modify Notes for students. This permission level is ideal for Advisors. SIS Lite was developed with these users in mind.

College Administration. Users are able to create and modify entries in SIS for current students as well as applicants, College Wide. This permission level is ideal for Student Academic Affairs Office Deans and those persons responsible for maintaining and developing SIS and SIS Lite.

When requesting permissions and you are in doubt as to the appropriate level, you can always write on the SIS Access Request Form to mirror another users permissions.
