Accessing Student Adult Learner Data

Note:  In order to gain access to the requested student information, it is mandatory that all users complete the online FERPA Training Tutorial. If you have not completed the FERPA training, then go to http://www.registrar.psu.edu/staff/ferpa_tutorial/ferpa_tutorial_page.cfm.

Requests for access to the Student Adult Learner Information within the Student Database must be made in the format shown below and submitted electronically by your Access and Security Representative (ASR) to:

Rachel Stover
rds179@outreach.psu.edu
Outreach Marketing and Communications

Upon approval of authorization, the request will be forwarded to the Administrative Security Office, AIS-Sec@psu.edu, for assignment of Data Warehouse userID and password. You will then be notified of your access privileges, userID, and password. If the requested individual already has access to another database on the data warehouse, then no new user ID and password will be assigned; however, he or she will be notified when access privileges are given for the appropriate table.

Any changes in the job position or responsibilities of the designated user should be reported to rds179@outreach.psu.edu (Rachel Stover).

All information is required to process the request.

Please provide the following individuals access to the Student Adult Learner Information (bi_adultlearner) within the Student database:
