(If you were looking for the instructions to follow as the proxy (i.e., Parent, Guardian, Spouse, please see: Parent/Guardian Proxy Instructions - New UIS)

Overview

Proxy Access allows students to set up access to a proxy to view student information within the New UIS Experience and permits the University’s Customer Contact Center to communicate with their proxy.

For example:

  • A parent or legal guardian as a proxy may have access to view your Account Detail

  • A sibling as a proxy who has access to view your Student Profile and/or Grades

Once you set up your proxy, they will receive email instructions on how to set up their account and view the information you have granted them access to. The student has the right to edit or delete the Proxy’s access at any time.

The Proxy access does not gain access to change any information or pay your bill. To enable access to pay a bill, you must set them up as an Authorized User, See: Instructions.

The Proxy access is not authorized to be used for any Information Technology Services.
