Can I complete registration information for my student who is on a mission or otherwise unavailable?
Not without guest access. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their own information. Class registration is a part of a student’s academic record for which he or she is responsible. Any misinformation put on a student’s record by someone other than the student becomes the student’s responsibility. For information on federal academic privacy laws, please visit the FERPA information website at BYU.
Guest access to a BYU account may be granted by the student to individuals of their choice. Guest access allows those individuals to act on the student’s behalf.
