Proxy Account Access Setup (Student Instructions) - UIS
Overview
Proxy Access allows students to set up access to a proxy to view student information within the UIS and permits the University’s Customer Contact Center to communicate with their proxy.
For example:
.
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.
