Helpful Note

This will show any person or organization a student has authorized to receive information. If there is no person or organization listed, the student has not selected to release this information to an individual or organization. Check marks denote which specific types of information the student has released to the designee: Academic Information, Account Information, and Financial Aid Information. A unique access code is chosen by the student for each designee to use to validate their identity when seeking information from the university.

Currently the Financial Aid, Student Health Insurance and Admissions offices utilize To Do lists. For more information on To Do Lists, refer to the My Buckeye Link Reference Guide.
