Parent access to student information in LionPATH is called Delegated Access. Delegated access gives parents, guardians, or other individuals access to view:

• class schedule

• enrollment verification

• financial aid

• Holds

• To Do List

Students are responsible for setting up delegated access in LionPATH and for determining which areas the individual can access, therefore, the student must have their full LionPATH access before they can complete this action.

For help in setting up delegated access for students, visit the online tutorial

Your student may be selected for verification after they have accepted their enrollment offer. Verification is a federal mandate requiring universities to confirm the accuracy of the information reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Your student will receive an email from our office, which explains what documentation must be provided if they are selected for verification. Verification requests will also be displayed on the "To Do List" located on the Home page of their LionPATH account.

Follow all directions, and respond quickly to this request to avoid a delay in the processing of your student’s aid. Often a parent signature is required on the verification documents.

Please have your student monitor their @psu.edu email and LionPATH accounts. We will reach out to them if there is an issue with the documents that have been uploaded or we require additional documentation.

After eligible students submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA^®), Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) will invite them into their platform.

Eligible Pennsylvania residents may also receive a follow-up email from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) asking for additional information.

Encourage your student to respond promptly.
