Current College of Charleston students have the ability to electronically share certain academic and financial aid information with a parent or guardian.
The Proxy Access Management service in Self-Service Banner provides students with a way to designate proxy access to trusted users to view selected student information. By setting up proxy access the student is giving consent for specified individuals to view academic information from their student record online. The student is able to modify the access rights and valid date ranges as well as view a log of the most recent activity. Students may select any or all of the following information items with a proxy:
- Financial Aid information (Aid Status, Academic Progress, Award History)
- Personal Information (Addresses, E-mail, Emergency Contacts)
- Registration Information (Schedule)
- Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Unofficial Transcript, Holds)
NOTE: Proxy access does not authorize College of Charleston personnel to communicate with authorized proxies. To authorize this type of communication, students must complete a FERPA Consent Form. For more information on FERPA, please visit our FERPA Information web page.

Full-time vs Part-time Status: A minimum of 12.0 credit hours is considered full-time enrollment for undergraduate students. Be careful about dropping or withdrawing from courses which take your total enrollment hours below this minimum, as your financial aid and health insurance could possibly be affected.
Holds: Registration holds for a past due balance, an advising hold, parking or library fines, etc., will keep you from being able to drop, add or withdraw from classes in MyCharleston. You can check for any registration holds using the Academic Services tab in MyCharleston. Look for the Registration Tools channel and click by clicking on the Registration Status link. Only the department who placed the hold can remove it from your account. If you have a hold and need to drop or withdraw from a class (by the appropriate deadline), please contact the Registrar’s Office for assistance BEFORE THE DEADLINE at registrar@cofc.edu! Requests after the deadline will not be processed.
