Setting Up Parent Permissions

Colby can communicate information pertaining to the student’s academics and finances to parents as long as the college has the permission of the student. Permission status can be changed from a student’s myColby portal.

1. Go to my.colby.edu and login using your Colby username and password
   
    
2. Go to the Academic tab from the home page if you are looking to give parents access to grades. You can also go to the Finances tab to find parent permissions as well. Both bring you to the same place.
   
    
3. Under Academic, click on Parent Permissions
   
    
4. Scroll down to see options to alert parents about different aspects of your Colby experience. 
    
5. Enter your parent’s email in the Parent Email Address field and click Submit to finalize your permission selections.
    
6. After you submit your parent’s email address, an automatic email will be generated and sent to your parent with information about how to sign into their parent account. You can repeat this process for different email accounts if parents/guardians have different email accounts. This will create a unique log in for each person added.
