CU Guest Access

What It Is

CU Guest Access is a read-only, online option for guests to view a student's record. Students establish a guest account for a parent or third party through the student portal and select which components of their record to share.

Guests have access to information in the student's Campus Solutions student center, similar to what faculty and staff see in the Student Services Center component (admin view). Guests cannot complete any transactions on behalf of the student, and CU Guest Access does not authorize the university to release or discuss nondirectory information about students to the guest.

Student-Facing Information 

Verifying CU Guest Access

As stated above, CU Guest Access does not authorize the university to release or discuss non-directory information about students to the guest.

If a guest calls with questions and you can't verify FERPA Consent to Release for that person, don't release any information. Direct them to contact the student.

Frequently Asked Questions

Through Buff Portal. See CU Guest Access for details.

Unless you're in the Office of the Registrar and have administrator rights for CU Guest Access, you can't see a live version. Depending on which record items the student grants their guest access to, the guest can see the same information the student does in the Student Center in Campus Solutions.

Don't give out any data. FERPA protections still apply if a guest is using CU Guest Access with no consent on file.

Guests using CU Guest Access should first work with their student for assistance. If they still have questions, direct them to the Office of the Registrar.
