Proxy access

There are three steps to give access to a designated Proxy: add Proxy email address, set up Proxy relationship, and authorize pages for Proxy access. Until the student completes these three steps, a Proxy will not be able to access their records.

Tell the person you are providing proxy access to to watch their email - they will receive a unique link that expires in ten days if they do not logon and create a PIN.

In myOswego, the Proxy Management page contains your proxy list. You will use it to add, change or revoke proxy access.

• Log in to myOswego and click the Personal Information tab.
• Click the Proxy Menu link at the bottom of the page.
• Click Proxy Management.

To add a proxy click the Add Proxy link

Once added, click the proxy name (or the expand icon) to expand tabbed navigation with information about their proxy account. Four tabs are revealed:

The Profile tab

• You can also reset a login PIN from this page if an existing proxy forgets their login PIN.
• The Passphrase is also optional, but a proxy MUST provide the passphrase for identification purposes if they call the Registrar's Office, Student Accounts or Financial Aid with questions about items they are authorized to see. If you choose to assign one, you must communicate the passphrase to your proxy (use the "E-mail Passphrase" button).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROXIES

When a student initiates the process to authorize proxy access, you will receive email communications with pertinent instructions and updates. The first email will contain a unique web link and action password that you must use to create a PIN to be used for future logons. You must do this within 10 days of being sent or the link will expire. If it expires, your student can re-send the email with a new link.

Once logged in to proxy access, follow the on-screen instructions.

When you view information from a student record, it will "pop up" in a separate browser window (Proxy Mode). Links and tabs on the Proxy Access page are disabled while in Proxy Mode.

You must close the pop up browser window and click the "Profile" tab on the Proxy Access page to exit Proxy Mode and re-enable navigation on the Proxy Access page.
