Dear Parents:
We are pleased to announce a new information system for parents of our
undergraduate students. Parents will now be receiving their own account on
Villanova’s NOVASIS system with a User ID and PIN. Many of you may have heard
of NOVASIS or you may have seen your child use NOVASIS to access their records.
It is Villanova’s web based system that
allows students to manage their academic and administrative information.
Now through your parent account, you may be able to access quick links to
important university information that pertains to your child. The system
provides the functionality to allow students to share records from their
NOVASIS
accounts with parent accounts including information on schedules, grades, bills
and financial aid.
Students determine and authorize what information from their
NOVASIS account
will be available for view by their parents. Please note that parent
NOVASIS
accounts are view only and parents will not be able to update student
information.
We hope that this new NOVASIS for
Parents will allow for easier and more
immediate information sharing, and that it will be a resource for both parents
and students. We recommend that you review your
NOVASIS account permissions with
your Villanova student.
Because of the restrictions created by the Family Education Rights Policy Act
(FERPA), the process is a bit complicated and also takes some time. Here
are the steps that you will need to follow:
1. The first step is to have the student submit the parental disclosure
form, which can be found at http://www.villanova.edu/enroll/registrar/confidentiality/parent_disclosure_form.htm
2. The student will also need to enter information about their parents
on the student NOVASIS
system. In addition to providing the parents' names, the student will need
to provide the parents' addresses, e-mail addresses, and some work information.
After this information is officially entered into the system, which might take a
few weeks, both the parents and the students will receive an e-mail
confirmation. That e-mail will refer you back to this page for
instructions for the next steps for setting up a parents'
NOVASIS
account. That e-mail will also include
NOVASIS
User ID. Make sure you retain that User ID.
3. Once you have received the e-mail telling you that you are in the
system, you will be ready to access NOVASIS. Click here
for complete log on instructions. Note that you will need to enter your
e-mail address to access NOVASIS
the first time, and after that you will need your
NOVASIS
User ID. If there is a problem with the e-mail address that you use to
access NOVASIS
for the first time, please contact our office at
registrar@villanova.edu and we will update your records within 24 business hours
and notify you that you can now access your
NOVASIS account.
If you
have any questions regarding your new account please e-mail us at
registrar@villanova.edu.
Thank you,
Office of the Registrar
