1998• Seattle University tires of angry emails and
phones circa 2006• Parents Link launched 2008• Student Provided Access launched 2014
Problems for Parents Link to solve
• Angry phone calls to Student Financial Services (SFS) and Registrar offices
• “I pay the bills, let me see it!”
• Students had to come into the SFS and/or Registrar office and fill out a form.
• Faculty & Staff outside of the SFS and Reg did not know if student granted access to a 3rd party.
Solutions provided byParents Link
• Easy way for students to grant access to parents or other 3rd party to academic and/or financial information
• Easy way for faculty and staff to know that the student has granted this access and whom to.
• Separate location for parent login.• Reduced angry phones to SFS and Reg… for
awhile.
Parents Link
Parents Link Operations
• Email with login information is sent to user right after access is granted by the student.
• First login requires user to setup new username & password.
Parents Link Operations
• Student can provide access to only view academic or billing information or both to 3rd party.
• Access to speak with SFS or Reg office personnel only granted through separate “Records Authorization” process
New Problems created by Parents Link
• SFS & registrar staff not able to view information as displayed in Parents Link
• Password management process troublesome for parents and students
• Two separate links: one to approve view access and the other to allow discussion of academic and/or billing information
• Student still have to fill out a form to provide access to parents link
• Frustrating phone calls from parents
Parents Link redesign goals
• Combined Records Access & Parents Link into one location: SUOnline (WebAdvisor)– Still two separate actions, however both in the
same place.
• Create New password management process• Eliminate need for records access form• Allow parents, students, and staff to see the
same information.
