Accessing TopNet as a Proxy

Issue/Question

How do I access information a student has authorized me to view as a proxy?

Environment

• TopNet

Resolution

When a student adds you as a proxy, an email will be sent from registrar@wku.edu with instructions for setting up your Proxy Access account.

1. Open the email from registrar@wku.edu indicating that you have been added as a proxy.
2. Click account setup link provided in the email.

Note: The link can only be used once and is active for a limited time.

1. Follow the prompts to create a username and password for Proxy Access.
2. A temporary password will be sent in a subsequent email.
3. Navigate to TopNet.
4. Click Proxy Access.
5. Follow the prompts to log in using your Proxy Access credentials.
6. You will now have access to the information the student has authorized you to view.

Proxy Access credentials are separate from WKU NetID credentials. The ITS Service Desk does not have access to reset Proxy Access passwords.

If you experience issues accessing your Proxy account, contact the Office of the Registrar.
