When an information item is selected, the information is displayed in a new window or tab. Located in the top left portion of the web page is the name of the student and their Kent State ID Number.
For each student that has identified you as a designee, in KSUview there will be a tab with each student's name along the top of the webpage. When you select a name, you will see the listing of the items that that student has authorized you to see.
If you are a designee to more than one student with a Student Checklist, you will be able to select the student whose list you wish to view after you select 'My Lists' in the top icon bar in FlashLine and then select Student Checklist Proxy.
The Student Checklist is a list of items for a student who has identified you as a designee. The student's name is displayed immediately above the first item in the list. The checklist is available to incoming admitted students as well as continuing students. This is a dynamic list that shows the status of the items that need to be completed for a successful start to the semester. As a designee, you cannot take any action on these items but can consult with your student about the actions that need to be taken.
You have a Kent State ID Number because you have also been granted access to FlashLine, Kent State University's portal. You need to have an identification number in order to create your default password in FlashLine.
While access to KSUview is immediate upon the student's identification and authorization, access to FlashLine is a longer process. Most people will receive their FlashLine credentials in 24-48 hours.
People who have a closer relationship to the student (Parent, guardian, spouse, partner) and to Kent State University will gain access to our university portal called FlashLine. With access to FlashLine, you will not only be able to access the information your student authorized through KSUview, but you will also receive university information that, through research, people have expressed interest in seeing.
A student can easily grant a person FERPA release authorization in FlashLine. The link to grant FERPA release authorization can be found in FlashLine within Student/Resources/Requests and Authorizations.
KSUview is a product that is controlled by the student as to who they identify to view information and what information a designee can view. VIEW is the key word. To be able to ask questions about this information that you can view with an official at Kent State University, your student needs to give you FERPA release authorization.
The student is in control of what is authorized for you. Ask your student to email you the list of authorizations set up for you. If you are expecting to see something else, you need to discuss your need with your student.
