Question: Can a spouse access a student record?
Answer: A spouse is considered a third party, and therefore must have the student's permission to access non-public information. For One Stop related information (e.g., registration, grades, financial aid, student account), a student can give his or her spouse access by using Parent/Guest Access. Parent/Guest Access gives the designated third party access to view online systems and to call or email with questions related to the access granted. For individual requests, such as obtaining a transcript on the student's behalf, the spouse must present a signed and dated statement from the student giving the spouse permission.

ESUP Student Work Stream: Collaboration Key to Successful Decision Making
Members of the Student work stream Functional Steering Committees (FSC) faced a daunting task during the nine months they spent in Interactive Design and Prototyping: the first comprehensive examination and restructuring of PeopleSoft-related business processes since 1998. This included reviewing 93 business processes and nearly 900 modifications to the existing system. The goal of this effort was to increase efficiency and retire as many modifications as possible to allow for using delivered functionality. The challenge was accomplishing this while maintaining a high level of service. Questions such as, "Is there a better way?" and "What modifications can we do away with?" were routinely asked and the FSC members were charged with finding the answers and making decisions.
