We are not permitted to discuss a student's record with third parties (including parents) unless we receive permission from the student to do so. If a student would like their parent or another third party to be able to discuss the details of their account (Registration, fees, etc) with the Student Desk, they can set up a parental authorisation password in SISWeb by following the steps below:
- Log into SISWeb
- Go to the Registration, Fees & Assessment tab
- Go to 'My Registration' > 'Privacy & Security' (found under the personal information heading)
- Create/enter a parental authorisation password
The student can then share this password with whomever they would like to be able to discuss the details of their account. When a third party contacts the Student Desk about a student's account, the third party will be asked to confirm the parental authorisation password.
This is an opt-in service. Parental authorisation on all students' accounts is, by default, set to 'no'. If a student leaves this set at 'no', then UCD can not discuss any part of the student's record with a third party. A student can add or remove parental authorisation at any time.
