Parent Proxy Access

In an effort to meet the needs of Albion College students, and to encourage students to safeguard their ACIS username and password, Albion provides a way for students to identify a person (or persons) as a proxy and grant permission for that trusted individual to view selected student information.

Students control who they designate as a proxy and what items that person can access. When the student selects the pages for a proxy, they are authorizing them to access the webpage. The proxy may view the information on the page but may not change any information. Only the student may make changes to their information. The student is able to modify the permissions, set date ranges in shich the permissions are active, and view a log of the most recent activity.

If the proxy has questions about the information they re viewing, they should speak to the student. Albion’s Proxy Access does not grant the proxy the authority to contact and discuss information with a College representative. The student would also have to grant the proxy FERPA access. FERPA access forms may be obtained by the student at the Registrar’s Office. Only the student can authorize Proxy Access; Albion Staff/Faculty cannot grant those rights.

Proxy Access – Parent Instructions

  1. When your student creates your Proxy Access account, you will receive an email
  2. The email will contain a one-time use web page address (URL) for you to complete the setup of your Proxy Access account. First, the URL will take you to a new page and ask you for an access password that is in your email as well.
  3. After you click submit, use the “Old” pin that was referenced in the email, the “Old” pin is the same as the action password that you just used.
