What is WebProxy?

CTX students can grant others access to view certain pieces of information that are normally available in their MyInfo account. This is termed granting proxy access and the other person is referred to as the proxy. The most common scenario is for a student to grant a parent or spouse access to his/her information; however, the student can choose anyone who has an e-mail address. By granting proxy access the student is giving CTX permission to share the selected information with that individual. This permission is necessary to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

The proxy/student relationship is controlled by the student. The student can create proxy user accounts and assign access to specific pages within MyInfo. Proxy users can potentially view items such as a students class schedule, final grades, academic transcript, and student account information. The student can reset a PIN for his/her proxy and can also choose to stop proxy access to his/her information. The student can also resend the login URL to the proxy. Requests to access student academic information and to become a proxy should be made directly to the student.
