Proxy Quick Start Guide
Students may grant permission to parents/guests to view academic and/or financial information in Self-Service. Once permission is granted, it also permits Central College to discuss a student’s non-directory information with these individuals.
Students have control over access permissions (see below) and may change permissions at any time, including revocation of access to their information completely.
It is a good idea for students and proxies to agree in advance what information will be shared, but ultimately, the student determines if they want to share academic and/or financial information.
Access Permissions
Step 1
New Users
Once you have been granted access, you will receive two emails. The first will contain your granted access and Self-Service username. The second will contain your initial password.
Existing Users
Once you have been granted access, you will receive one email containing your granted access. Your username and password should remain unchanged.
