Adding a Proxy in Tower (Student Instructions)
Introduction - Taylor University’s TOWER Proxy provides your parent or guardian on-line access to your academic information. TOWER Proxy gives you, the student, complete control of the process and allows you to authorize anyone with a valid e-mail address on-line access to your academic information.
This is separate from access for payment and billing (Touchnet).
FERPA NOTICE - You, the student, control who is designated as a proxy. You also choose what information your proxy can access. Designating someone proxy privileges will not be interpreted by Taylor University as providing a FERPA release allowing the university to share additional private student information. If you wish to grant permission to the university to share private information with an individual, such as a parent, a signed FERPA release must be on file in the Registrar’s Office - available online here.
