Parent Portal - Granting Access

This process is for Granting Permissions. Please follow the link at the bottom for parents to create a Parent Portal account and have access to the website and see information.

Log into MyAccess and go to "Academic Profile". In the MyAccess Menu under Academics > Academic Profile OR goto https://myaccess.southern.edu/profile/.
Click the green "Manage Access" button hear the top of the Profile OR goto https://myaccess.southern.edu/mvc/DataPermissions/
In the upper left, "Manage Information Access", check the boxes to modify which parent has what permissions, and click the "Confirm" button under that part. NOTE: If parent's information is not listed, follow the instructions at https://helpdesk.southern.edu/helpdesk/it/KB/View/10531-change-parent-information. Once the parent information has been added OR their name appears in the list, repeat this step and go on to step 4.
Ensure the "Current Local Address" is correct in the upper right part of that page, and click "Confirm" there as well.
In the bottom left under "Emergency Text Message System", select either option.
Once Steps 3 - 5 above are complete, you can click the "Save & Continue" button at the bottom right of the page.

Permissions should have been now been granted (or revoked if the box was unchecked in step 3). HOWEVER, the parent may still not have access if they do not have a parent account with southern. Follow the instructions for inviting a parent to create a parent account https://helpdesk.southern.edu/helpdesk/it/KB/View/41-parent-portal--creating-an-account.
