Parent access to student information

Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the university cannot release personal or academic information without consent, so it's important that you come to a shared understanding of expectations with your child about what rights they will authorize you, what might be communicated and how.

See the university's Protection of Privacy Policy for more information.

Access to information during the admissions process

A family member or representative can be given permission to make inquiries on behalf of an applicant as a proxy if written consent is provided. A student can give this permission when completing an application to UVic, or they may email permission to their assigned assistant in Undergraduate Admissions, specifying the proxy's name and relationship to them.

Access to information while studying at UVic

All proxy rights assigned during the application process expire once the first term of classes begins. New permissions must be provided to Undergraduate Records using a proxy form.
