Poet Proxy for Students

Poet Proxy allows students to grant My.Whittier account access to a parent or other responsible party.

The authorized party, also known as a proxy, can log in to My.Whittier using their own email address and password. The student determines the level of access they wish to grant their proxy including access to their account balance, class schedule, advising transcript, etc.
