Proxy Users

Setting up Your Proxy Account

NMSU Students may choose to provide “proxy access” to parents/guardians/spouses as desired by going online to my.nmsu.edu. Once the student provides access, the Proxy needs to set up an account in order to access the student records information.

While the student completes the setup process, the proxy will be receiving emails instructing them on the next steps needed to finalize their access. One of these emails will contain a time-sensitive link. Thus, it is important that the proxy completes the follow up steps in a timely manner, once the student has initiated the process.

Please note: In order for a proxy to make a payment on a student account, the proxy will need to register as a Financial Management Payer.  This process is initiated by the student following this separate set of instructions.

Student User Prerequisite:

1. The student sets you up as a proxy by following these simple instructions: Student User Instructions for Setting up a Proxy.

Proxy User Instructions:

• If this is your first time being set up as a proxy, you will receive three emails. The emails may not arrive in order, so please see the instructions below to read them in the correct sequence.
• Please note, if you are the proxy for more than one student, or if you've been a proxy in the past, you may only receive 2 emails, as the first email only gets sent out to each proxy once.

1. Here is a brief description of the emails, followed by the instructions needed to set yourself up as a proxy.
   1. The first email (Subject line: New proxy identity) provides a one-time-use link, needed to set up your access. Please note that this link is only used during this initial step. After successful registration as a proxy, the third email contains a link for future proxy login.
   2. The second email (Subject line: NMSU Proxy Access Assigned) provides a permanent link needed to access the proxy login page from this point forward. Use the link in this email only after successfully registering as a proxy in steps a and b. Please save this email or bookmark the website for future reference.
   3. The third email (Subject line: New Proxy Confirmation) provides a unique initial password needed to access the link from the first email.
2. Follow these instructions in order to set up your proxy access.
   1. Click on the one-time-use link provided in the first email.
   2. Use the initial password provided in the 2nd email. Click Submit.
   3. Type your email address. Confirm that it is correct.
   4. For the Initial Password, use the initial password that was provided in the third email.
   5. Create your New Password.
   6. Re-enter your New Password to validate that it is correct.
3. You will enter your username and password. Be sure to use your full email address in the username. The password is the new password that you just created. Click Sign In.
4. The final step in the set up will bring you to the Proxy Access Home.
   1. You should see the following on your screen. If you are a proxy for more than one student, their names should also show up here after successful registration
      
      1. Proxy Personal Information- This is your personal proxy information, such as your name and email address.
      2. I am a proxy for [student name]- This contains a drop-down menu with a list of the content that your student has authorized you to view.
