It helps maintain FERPA-compliant records and provides a single, shareable record for advisors, billing offices, and third-party requestors.
The Student Enrolment Summary is completed and used by several campus offices and authorized external recipients.
Access should be limited to authorized personnel and third parties with student consent or a permissible FERPA exception.
