FERPA Guidelines
- Access to some Fish ‘R’ Net options (e.g. final grade entry) is limited to certain times of the semester.
- Inactivity for several minutes results in your being ‘logged out’ of Fish ‘R’ Net. If that happens, simply login again.
- After a third unsuccessful attempt to login, your PIN will be disabled. If that happens you will not be able to access Fish’R’Net and must call the Registrar’s Office at 585.385.8015 to have your account enabled.
- To protect your records, please change your PIN frequently. If you forget your PIN, do not guess, click the Reset Fish’R’Net PIN option and follow the instructions on screen.
- Contact the Registrar’s Office if you suspect that confidentiality of your PIN has been compromised and your information has been accessed without your authorization.
- Students will use the same log on screen as faculty and advisors; security is maintained through coding in Banner, which determines the display and accessibility of information in the web interface.
