A student can assign a passphrase that their proxy can use to identify themselves as a valid proxy to speak to the University on their behalf.
When speaking to the University, a proxy must authenticate themselves as the student has identified for them in Self Service:
- Provide the student designated proxy Passphrase exactly as the student has entered
- Confirm your name and email as the student has designated
- Proxy must have valid access to the requested information as the student has authorized
Once your student has set a valid Passphrase, they can either provide you with the passphrase verbally or send an email containing the passphrase to the email address on record.

It’s important to note that the University cannot speak with you on behalf of your student unless the student has authorized the University to do so through the use of the Student Self Service Passphrase and Page Authorization.
