- Student Profile Information (Majors, Minors, Emergency Contact Information, Hours Earned, GPA)
- Student Detailed Schedule
- Student Records Information (Midterm Grades, Final Grades, Holds)
Q: Does sharing access mean that my proxy can speak to someone at the College of Charleston about this information?
