Banner Web Proxy Information

Oberlin’s Banner Web Proxy system allows students to grant others access to view their Financial Aid, Course Schedule Details, Grades, and 1098T  information. Students have the ability to grant or restrict Proxy access to any or all of this information at any time. Please note that general student account information is not available through Banner Web Proxy. To learn how to view this information, please visit the Student Accounts Office webpage “Parent/Guest Access.”

Getting Started

Students must complete the following steps to grant Proxy access to a designated individual. A Proxy will not be able to access their student’s records until the below steps are completed. Students may visit the Services Portal to learn how to set up Banner access for their designated Proxy.

  1. Set up the Proxy relationship
  2. Authorize specific pages for the Proxy to view

Once your student adds you as a Proxy, you will receive four emails. Two of the emails will provide general information about Proxy access, another will include a link to the Proxy login page, and another will provide an initial (temporary) password.  

  1. Click on the link in the “Oberlin Proxy Access Invitation” email. If the link does not work, copy and paste the link into a web browser.
  2. Enter the initial (temporary) password included in the “Oberlin Proxy Access Credentials” email, then click Submit.
  3. At the next screen, you will be asked to create a new password. On the login page, log in using your email address and the new password you created.
  4. After logging in, you will see your student’s legal name along with a drop-down menu showing the pages you have been granted access to.
