Student Instructions for Assigning a Proxy
Proxy access provides an opportunity for students to grant online access to their information using Self Service. This is called granting “proxy access” and the other person is referred to as the proxy. The most common scenario is granting a parent or spouse access to a student’s information. Access is granted by the student, who must provide a valid email address as well as other information for the designated proxy.
Please contact the MassArt Helpdesk with any questions at helpdesk@massart.edu.
