The purpose of this message is to share privacy reminders and tips that may be helpful while you provide advising services remotely to students.
Please remember that information from student education records is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). You may continue to advise students as you normally would, even when through remote or other virtual means. It is important to remember that except in certain, prescribed circumstances, you need a student’s written consent before disclosing contents of their education records to anyone other than the student (e.g. parents, roommates, spouses). Therefore, if your student wants another individual to participate in the advising session, you should seek written consent from the student (a quick email would suffice) to share information from their education records with that individual before sharing the information.
Easy Ways to Obtain Prior Written Consent
- Offices that utilize the FERPA Designee Pin Page may continue to do so. A FERPA Designee should verbally provide you with their pin code. Per usual, names and pin codes must match what is listed on the FERPA Designee Pin Page in order for University faculty and staff advisors to discuss information specific to a student’s education record.
- If you do not have access to the FERPA Designee Pin Page, your student may send you an e-mail from their official @uconn.edu address with the following information:
- What information from their education records may be shared (e.g. grades, GPA, academic standing, plan of study)
- With whom the information may be shared
- For what purpose
Keep in mind that FERPA only requires prior written consent when disclosing information from a student’s record. For example, you may share information with a parent about an academic policy or process, without ever needing to disclose a student’s specific information. This is no different than our normal course of business. However, you should defer to guidance from your department and/or school before sharing any unique processes or plans related to the current state of affairs.
Also, know it is not your responsibility to ensure the student is in a private setting. If you sense that a student is uncomfortable speaking with you due to privacy concerns, please offer to reschedule. If privacy concerns persist as student circumstances will vary, please contact the University’s Privacy Officer at privacy@uconn.edu to discuss possible solutions.
Finally, here are a few best practice reminders to safeguard student information while working remotely.
- When not at your computer, use CTRL ALT DEL to lock your screen
- Log out of University systems when not in use
- When speaking with students remotely, please do so in a private setting on your end
Questions and concerns regarding student privacy may be directed to:

Nexus, a University of Connecticut software platform, places actionable data in the hands of the advising community to promote student retention and success. Nexus complements the university’s student support services and enhances information sharing between students, staff, and faculty. Tools include dashboards, appointment scheduling, note sharing, event registration, and more.
The mission of Nexus is to support the university’s advising and student support services by enhancing communication between students, staff, and faculty. Nexus tools and data analytics streamline and make processes related to student success more efficient to help UConn advance the academic mission of the university by:
- Connecting advisors and students through appointment scheduling mechanisms and tools
- Sharing tools and resources to allow students to gauge their academic progress, communicate with their advisors, and connect with their peers in academic pursuits
- Creating a common site for advisors to engage with student-level academic data
- Providing advisors a common platform to keep regular notes on student meetings and interactions
- Linking the advising community together as they seek to support students developmentally and holistically in the interest of student retention and success
Best Practices for Nexus Use and Nexus Notes for UConn’s Advising & Student Support Community
- Advisors should only access student information when it is relevant to the educational and/or advising process.
- The advising community encourages “open” levels of note sharing, when possible. In order for advisors to best serve students’ holistic needs during their time at UConn, open communication is encouraged.
- Note: Keep only those individual student records necessary for the fulfillment of your teaching and advising responsibilities in Nexus. Private advisor notes concerning a student and intended for the advisor’s own use are not part of the student’s educational records.
- When possible, review a student’s prior notes before meeting with them, to see what offices and/or people they have interacted with recently.
- The content of other users’ Nexus notes should not be shared directly with students.
- However, some advisors do share the content of their own notes with students, and sometimes email them to advisees after meetings to ensure that students understand any necessary follow-up tasks.
- Do not share Nexus notes with other faculty or staff members of the University unless their official responsibilities identify their “legitimate educational interest” in that information for that student.
- Make a note as soon as possible after meeting with a student.
- The note should include the following: the topic/nature of the meeting, what was discussed, and next steps for the student—including follow-up appointments, referrals, etc.
- “Sensitive or confidential information” might include disability, religious and/or political affiliation, sexual orientation, medical diagnoses, or information that could be potentially detrimental to the student if it were revealed to a third party.
- You may also include attachments to any notes that you create, such as a plan of study, signed form, or any other documents referenced or shared in the meeting.
- Notes should be short, succinct, and focus on objective facts—not assumptions or inferences.
- Caution should be exercised when entering notes regarding sensitive or confidential student information. For example, if a student shares about mental or physical health issues, it is critical that they are referred to an appropriate party or resource on campus as soon as possible.
- You might note that you “connected student with SHaW regarding health issues,” but you should not share details such as, “Student shared that they were depressed.”
- When in doubt, err on the side of caution and do not release the content of Nexus notes. Contact the Office of University Advising with any questions.
Key resources/tools in Nexus for advisors:
Appointment Scheduling
- Many faculty and staff use Nexus for appointment scheduling. Nexus allows students to search and book appointments online. Videos on how to set up your appointments can be found by clicking “Appointments” in the top navigation bar, then clicking the video link towards the top of the page.
- Appointments scheduled via Nexus can be integrated with your existing Outlook calendars.
Student Search:
- Nexus allows you to search for a student and view a student dashboard prior to meeting for an advising appointment. The student dashboard allows you to view a student’s academic and personal information, record notes on the student, and much more. Most data on the dashboard is Nexus data, however there is some data brought in from PeopleSoft/Student Admin each night. When searching for students, you can search by name, NetID, or PeopleSoft ID. To search for a student, click here.
Student Snapshot
- After searching for a particular student, you can view a snapshot of their data included on their Student Dashboard. This snapshot view includes their major, plan, advisors, credits earned, GPA, campus, email, any warning grades or indicators, and more. This is a great way to get a quick overview of a student before you meet with them.
Student Notes
- Nexus is used extensively across all UConn campuses for recording notes on students. Notes about a student’s prior interactions and/or communications can be viewed and entered in each student’s dashboard. First, search for the student under the “Search” tab in the top navigation bar, then click the student’s name to view their dashboard.
- Each advisor has control over who can view notes, based on “share level.” Additional information about how the note tool works can be found under the “Notes” link on the top navigation bar.
- Other tabs of student information
- Appointments, classes, resources, 60-second profile, terms, and warnings
- Student-facing information
- Study groups and room reservations; sharing resources

II.B.10 Academic Advising and Registration
Adding, Dropping or Withdrawing from a Course
Students may drop courses before the end of the tenth day of classes without transcript notations. After the tenth day of classes and through the eleventh week of the semester, a student may withdraw from one course (for any reason) with permission from the student’s advisor. Students interested in withdrawing from more than one course after the tenth day of classes or interested in withdrawing from a course after the eleventh week of the semester require approval by the student’s advisor and by the Dean or designee of the school or college in which the student is enrolled. Approvals are given only for extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control; poor academic performance is not an extenuating circumstance. Any course withdrawn from after the first ten days of classes will receive a ‘W’ on the transcript. Exceptions to transcript notations can be made only by the Provost or designee. For courses taught outside of the fall and spring semesters, these deadlines will be adjusted in a pro-rated fashion by the Registrar.
Pro forma approvals for no-W withdrawal
- Policy: Pro forma approvals are permitted in the following cases:
- Section changes (excluding changes from W (writing-intensive) section to non-W sections)
- When documentation in Student Admin provides clear evidence that the student attempted to drop the course before Day 11 of the semester.
- Procedure: Dean sends schedule revision information to OneStop (onestop@uconn.edu), cc’ing the Office of Undergraduate Advising (advising@uconn.edu), indicating that they are approving the change as a section change.
Criteria for considering and/or approving other no-W withdrawal requests
Registration errors
Examples:
- University registered student for classes, which were later deemed to be unnecessary/inappropriate
- Documentable OneStop/Registrar error (incorrect data entry)
University Circumstances
Examples:
- Timing issues: class(es) begin late due to weather events
- Documentable instructor issues where instructor is not following university policies
- Documentable advising issues, such as misalignment of catalog updates and advising (e.g. repeat rule changes)
Student Circumstances
Examples:
- Veteran circumstances (verified by Veterans office)
- Documentable evidence that student was physically unable to make schedule changes before Day 10
- If there is medical or other sensitive documentation included in the student request, it should be sent directly to CSD for initial review
Students with documented disabilities
- These requests will be reviewed by the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD), and they will determine if a modification or adjustment is warranted.
Process for reviewing no-W withdrawal requests
- Student makes the request to their school/college dean’s office
- Student must provide written explanation of circumstances, including full rationale and any supporting documentation for their request
- Any sensitive documentation (e.g., medical, disability) should be forwarded to the CSD for review
Note: The student should withdraw from the relevant course(s) prior to requesting a no-W withdrawal
- Dean’s office or designee reviews request to ensure explanation is complete and all relevant information is included
- Student with a documented disability: the no-W withdrawal request will first be forwarded to the CSD for review and a determination will be made if a modification or adjustment is warranted
- Once the CSD makes a recommendation on the student’s case, they will send approved requests to One Stop, copying the Office of Undergraduate Advising
- If request is not supported by CSD due to a documented disability, it will be forwarded to the No-W Withdrawal Committee for review
- Dean’s office or designee forwards request to the No-W Withdrawal Committee by emailing advising@uconn.edu for consideration. It should not be forwarded without the following documentation:
- Full written explanation of the circumstances (from the student)
- Documentation of circumstances
- No-W Withdrawal Committee will make a recommendation to Provost or Provost’s designee (Office of Undergraduate Advising)
- Provost or Provost’s designee will make final decision and submit to One Stop Student Services. The Office of Undergraduate Advising will inform students of the outcome of the committee decision via Nexus message. The Office of Undergraduate Advising will also inform the originating Dean’s office representative and One Stop of the outcome of the request.
No-W Withdrawal Committee membership (membership determined each academic year)
- At least three professional advising staff in leadership roles
- OneStop representative (ex-officio member and resource to provide additional information and potential implications of decisions)
- Office of Undergraduate Advising representative serves as chair of committee (evaluates incoming requests, monitors progress, makes final decision, and communicates decisions to appropriate parties)
