Setting Up a Proxy Access Account (How-to)

Students can grant access to third parties (typically parents or guardians) to view their academic information or receive communication from Drake. The instructions below show how you, a parent or guardian who has been granted access, should set up your proxy access account. Once you've confirmed your access following the steps below, you can access your student's academic information from the Proxy Access Dashboard. See the list of options for access that students can provide to parents or guardians below:

• No Access – Campus Communications Only: Provides access to emails sent from Drake, including the parent newsletter
• Student Profile: Provides access to the student’s Profile Page in Self-Service
• Student Holds: Provides access to information regarding account holds
• Financial Aid Status: Provides access to financial aid package and information
• Student Grades: Provides access to a course list and midterm and final grades
• Academic Transcript: Provides access to the student's unofficial academic transcript
• Tax Notification 1098T: Provides access to the 1098T form

NOTE: If your student has set you up as a proxy and you don't receive your email or need your proxy password reset, please ask your student for assistance.

NOTE: Access to academic information (Self Service) is separate from access to view your student’s account balance or make payments (Touchnet). See Logging into Touchnet as an Authorized Parent/Guardian User (How-to) for more information.

1. After the student sets you up as a proxy, you will receive an email from do-not-reply@drake.edu with the subject "Drake University: Confirm Proxy Access".
