Accessing Bursar Data

(student billing information)

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 go to http://www.registrar.psu.edu/staff/ferpa_tutorial/ferpa_tutorial_page.cfm

Requests for access to the Bursar data must be made in the format shown below and submitted electronically by your Area Security Representative (ASR) to:

Office of the Bursar

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 userid and password will be assigned; however, he or she will be notified when access privileges are given for the appropriate database.

Any changes in the job position or responsibilities of the designated user should be reported to sbitner@psu.edu.

All information is required to process the request.
