UCONNECT - Proxy Access

Tags UCONNECT

Introduction

A Student can provide and control access for another individual to specific portions of their UCO account without sharing their UCO account username and password.

A UCO Student Account Holder can give access to multiple individuals for a variety of account resources including their:

  • Academic Transcript
  • Account Summary
  • Schedules
  • Grades
  • Financial Information
  • and more

For example, a UCO student may provide parent/guardian access to grade and transcript information and/or allow a spouse access to view financial information. 

NOTE: Bursar access is managed within Touchnet where students may set up "Authorized Users."

IMPORTANT! Never share your personal account access information (i.e. your password) with another individual! 

UCONNECT - Proxy Access

Setting up access to a UCO account for a proxy requires two stages:

  1. The UCO Student Account Holder creates a Proxy User Account, defines what information to grant the Proxy access to, and assigns the Proxy User to it.
  2. The Proxy User receives an email invitation, chooses a password, and finishes their account setup.

Proxy Account Setup

Once the UCO Student has added you as a Proxy User, you will receive two emails from the system to the email address submitted by the Student. These emails will be used to set your password and complete your proxy access.

  1. Access the email account and locate the email from proxy_access@uco.edu, subject line: New Proxy Identity
  2. Open the email and click the link to the proxy access login webpage.
