Want your parents or others to view your academic and financial aid information in MySAIL? Now you can designate another person (a proxy) to access and view your account. 

Granting access allows parents to stay up-to-date on your financial aid awards and requirements, class schedules, grades and more. Remember, as a student, you control exactly how much information you want your proxy to view. Once you add a proxy to your MySAIL account, you control the authorization settings to enable the level of access you want them to have. Their settings are “view only,” meaning a proxy can never make changes to any of your information in MySAIL.

How to add a proxy in MySAIL:
Print directions with screen shots.
  1. Log into MySAIL using your NetID and password
  2. Select Sail
  3. Select Student Services
  4. Select Manage Proxy
  5. Select Add Proxy
  6. Fill in the required fields and select Add Proxy
  7. Once the proxy is added, click on the yellow down arrow next to his/her name
  8. On the Profile tab, select a relationship type from the drop-down menu and indicate a start and stop date for your proxy to have access to your information
  9. On the Authorization tab, select all areas of MySAIL that you would like your proxy to have view-only access
