PATH: System Administration > Portal > Preferences > Self Services
The Portal Self Service options allow districts to display and allow updates to Census data for users of Campus Parent and Campus Student. Information can be selected at a granular level allowing districts to choose what information can be viewed and what information can be updated. Districts are able to review all update requests submitted prior to updating the database.
Portal Self Service
Campus Student users (usually enrolled students) are not able to request changes to their data unless they are emancipated and their own guardian.
Student Demographic information, Household Contact information, Phone and Addresses can be viewed and modified for individuals marked as the student's guardian. The guardian does not need to reside in the student's primary or secondary household.
Staff who have students in the district are allowed to view and edit information, as defined in the above table. Staff who do not have students in the district should use My Data to request changes to demographic, household and contact information.
Note the following:
- Self Service options are District-wide.
- Users have to determine which items to display and which items to allow for change requests.
Districts can choose to allow parents/guardians to request updates to Census information via Campus Student and Campus Parent. Submitted update requests are then reviewed by an authorized staff person using the Portal Request Processor, and each request can be approved or denied individually.
Like Portal Display Options, selected Self Service options determine what data can be requested for modification. Options can be turned on for student data, household data and family data.
Set Self Service Options
- Select the desired settings for each of the areas available for update options within Campus Student/Parent.
- Click the Save icon when finished. Self Service options are saved, and Campus Parent users can update information as needed.
Review the following information for explanation of the available options.
