Parent/Guardian Proxy

A Parent/Guardian Proxy account allows a parent or guardian to view certain pieces of a student's financial aid and academic record online. Access is granted and maintained by the student. A parent or guardian will only see information their student has authorized them to view. The student can grant or remove access at any time. Please note that the University cannot, under any circumstance, confirm, grant, revoke, or modify a Parent/Guardian Proxy account on a student's behalf.

Q: What is a Financial Aid Passphrase?
A: A Financial Aid Passphrase is a unique code word or phrase that may be created by a student for their proxy.

Financial Aid administrators will validate this passphrase and the proxy’s access before speaking with the proxy in an effort to protect the rights of the student. If the proxy has not been granted access, the information cannot be discussed. Other administrative departments such as the Office of the Registrar will not share academic information over the phone with anyone other than the student; the passphrase is only used by Financial Aid.
