<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>
<li>Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)</li>
</ul>

<p>The College community receives two types of alerts from this system: CougarAlert and Safety Messages. CougarAlerts are used to communicate emergencies taking place on campus, with direct call to actions, such as evacuations, building closures and/or class cancellations. Safety Messages are employed for emergencies or events taking place in the greater Charleston community that might have an effect on our campus community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To receive notification in case of an emergency, students should log onto <em>MyCharleston</em> to enter phone numbers. All students should log onto MyCharleston to review their email address and telephone information and update as needed.</p>
<p>To access the address and telephone information, follow these steps:</p>

<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>
<li>Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)</li>

<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>

<p>The College community receives two types of alerts from this system: CougarAlert and Safety Messages. CougarAlerts are used to communicate emergencies taking place on campus, with direct call to actions, such as evacuations, building closures and/or class cancellations. Safety Messages are employed for emergencies or events taking place in the greater Charleston community that might have an effect on our campus community.</p>
<p>To receive notification in case of an emergency, students should log onto <em>MyCharleston</em> to enter phone numbers. All students should log onto MyCharleston to review their email address and telephone information and update as needed.</p>
<p>To access the address and telephone information, follow these steps:</p>

<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>
<li>Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)</li>
</ul>

<p>The College community receives two types of alerts from this system: CougarAlert and Safety Messages. CougarAlerts are used to communicate emergencies taking place on campus, with direct call to actions, such as evacuations, building closures and/or class cancellations. Safety Messages are employed for emergencies or events taking place in the greater Charleston community that might have an effect on our campus community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To receive notification in case of an emergency, students should log onto <em>MyCharleston</em> to enter phone numbers. All students should log onto MyCharleston to review their email address and telephone information and update as needed.</p>
<p>To access the address and telephone information, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log on to <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.cofc.edu%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2d175bc8b63345873a6c08d68ab3e78e%7Ce285d438dbba4a4c941c593ba422deac%7C0%7C0%7C636848902670814431&amp;sdata=9PfaGEvZbnowq9K%2Btq1qXk786tMTOR8a%2FFnRrWx61lE%3D&amp;reserved=0"><strong>MyCharleston</strong></a></li>

<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>
<li>Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Cougar Alert Notification System: </strong><a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Femergency.cofc.edu%2Fcougaralert%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf070e2ad917f43dcca4608d685672683%7Ce285d438dbba4a4c941c593ba422deac%7C0%7C0%7C636843075444154128&amp;sdata=lnmy%2B3NzfMgUxtNw%2BMho%2BzbZGQspbS9hVaei%2B56zao4%3D&amp;reserved=0"><strong>http://emergency.cofc.edu/cougaralert/</strong></a></p>
<p>The College community receives two types of alerts from this system: CougarAlert and Safety Messages. CougarAlerts are used to communicate emergencies taking place on campus, with direct call to actions, such as evacuations, building closures and/or class cancellations. Safety Messages are employed for emergencies or events taking place in the greater Charleston community that might have an effect on our campus community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To receive notification in case of an emergency, students should log onto <em>MyCharleston</em> to enter phone numbers. All students should log onto MyCharleston to review their email address and telephone information and update as needed.</p>
<p>To access the address and telephone information, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log on to <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.cofc.edu%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf070e2ad917f43dcca4608d685672683%7Ce285d438dbba4a4c941c593ba422deac%7C0%7C0%7C636843075444164137&amp;sdata=0MW334T7ZA9WZPOb9uVQnqpF2sIeE4Afv4ekgAYuMQ0%3D&amp;reserved=0"><strong>MyCharleston</strong></a></li>

<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>
<li>Registration Information (Schedule)</li>
<li>Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)</li>
</ul>

<p>The College community receives two types of alerts from this system: CougarAlert and Safety Messages. CougarAlerts are used to communicate emergencies taking place on campus, with direct call to actions, such as evacuations, building closures and/or class cancellations. Safety Messages are employed for emergencies or events taking place in the greater Charleston community that might have an effect on our campus community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To receive notification in case of an emergency, students should log onto <em>MyCharleston</em> to enter phone numbers. All students should log onto MyCharleston to review their email address and telephone information and update as needed.</p>
<p>To access the address and telephone information, follow these steps:</p>

<p><strong>Proxy Access Management:</strong></p>
<p>A Self-Service Banner (SSB) tool for students called Proxy Access Management will provide current College of Charleston students with the ability to share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian online. As always, students control access rights, but with Proxy Access Management they can modify access rights at any time, set valid date ranges on the access, and view a log of recent activity. When setting up proxy access, students may select any or all of the following information items to share with a proxy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)</li>
<li>Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)</li>

<p>Too many emails from the listserv? Try the Parent Blog!
