The Contact and Privacy Info app has a Wizard mode that is used to guide students through a process of updating their information. |
The wizard mode of the contact and privacy info app is a special mode that guides students through a process of updating and verifying their information. There are also extra screens and forms available in this wizard that are not usually available in this app.
As students progress through the wizard, they will see a bar at the top letting them know what step they are on. If the page requires their attention, like checking the box at the bottom, the "action required" label will appear. They will also be prevented from progressing past this tab until all steps on this page are completed. The mobile version of these pages does not have the progress bar, but will indicate what step the student is on and will also display the action required label. Note: all other screenshots in this guide also have an "employee addresses" tab, which will appear if the student is also an employee.
At the bottom of the page, students will have to check a box at the bottom to verify that the information is correct. This ensures that they have viewed the entire contents of the page.
Students will first be asked to validate their existing local and permanent addresses. They will have to check a box at the bottom to verify that the information is correct. They can also make changes and click the save button, just like normal.
On campus students should use their campus mailbox as their local address, not their residence call. The contact info wizard will try to help with this. |
If you have a mailbox on campus, the app will suggest that you use that mailbox as your local address. If you click the "Yes, use my mailbox address" button, it will copy the address into the form for you. You will still have to hit the save button in order to save the address.
If you already have your local address saved in the box, the app will let you know this with a message that says "The mailing address for your UWF mailbox is listed below."
If you do not have a campus mailbox, but still live on campus, the app will suggest that you obtain a mailbox from Postal Services. It will also include a warning to not put the name of your residence hall on this form as your address, because mail and deliveries can not be delivered to residence halls.
The emergency contact section allows students to update their emergency contact information.
This section allows students to sign up for various text message notifications. If they are not enrolled for RAVE emergency alerts they will be required to make a decision to sign up or opt out. Once they have signed up for emergency notifications, they will be shown the primary number they registered with, and then directed to the RAVE website for further changes. They also are given an opportunity to enter a phone number for receiving text messages.
Please visit our separate page on setting up text notifications for more instructions on how to update your text notifications preferences.
All students' educational records are automatically protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Universities have the right to release a student's directory information to outside entities, but only if the request meets the statute's requirement that the requesting party have a legitimate educational interest in those specific records. See below for more details.
Students are highly encouraged to understand how the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affects them.
On this page, students are shown their directory information and are given a chance to request privacy. There is also a section that lets them indicate a third party to which information (academic, financial, etc.) may be released, including parents. Students are required to authenticate their identity when interacting with UWF employees, whether in-person, over the telephone, or via Email. (Employees should see Authenticating a Student's Identity)
If you elect the Full Confidentiality Hold, you cannot sign up for Text Messages about academic issues, enrollment opportunities, appointment reminders, etc. |
Employees with proper access can view a student's privacy selections in the "Student Info" tab of the Contact and Privacy Info app.
Students may indicate a third party to which information (academic/financial, etc.) may be released, including parents. Please note that if a student elects to place a Full Confidentiality Hold on their educational records, any third party to which the student authorizes their information released will have to conduct their communications with UWF employees in person.
Information releases can be created for individuals or entities to whom the student wants to release information. Releases can be created for up to one year at a time. When going through the contact and privacy info wizard, the student should examine their existing releases and extend their release dates if desired.
Here are some other key features on this page:
The more info section asks students a few more questions before finishing the wizard. This tab is only visible when the contact info app is in wizard mode. Note: if the student does not click the word "Finish" at the bottom of this page the wizard will not be considered complete.
Future Enrollment
Students are asked to let us know if they plan on coming back the following semester. If they aren't enrolling, they see these suggestions and a form to let us know why not.
Use an expand section for each FAQ that you want to include. Copy and paste the expand section to create a new question. Make sure to edit the title of the expand section. Please remove this section if there are no FAQs.
Please see Activating your MyUWF/Argonet Account. Once your account is active, you can access the Contact and Privacy Information app. |
Skype is acceptable as in "in person" option. As with all communications, identity authentication is required. |
Withholding your Directory Information prevents UWF from disclosing to the general public any information from student educational records which is designated as "directory information." See above Privacy section. The Full Confidentiality Hold is used only in rare circumstances. Your entire educational record will be suppressed (this includes the Directory Information listed above). But, in addition, all conversations about your educational record must be conducted in person or via your UWF email account. We cannot discuss your record with you (or anyone you designate) over the phone, fax, regular mail, or any email address other than your official UWF email account. |
No. If your daughter has authorized us to discuss her records with you and she now has the Full Confidentiality Hold, all conversations about her educational record must be done in person. |
