Parent Portal Help

Yes (unless you already have a Southern username and password). The parent account gives you access to your student’s information and it’s our way of identifying you so their information remains secure.

No, you may access the Parent Portal by logging in with your existing Southern username and password.

If you are a current or former Southern student or employee, you probably have an existing Southern username. You can use it to access your student's information on the parent website.

Parent accounts are a specially designated account provided for those who have not been a student or employee.

When your student grants you access to grades and financial information (from their My Access page on the Southern website), they also send you an invitation email with instructions for creating a parent account.

Parents can access their student’s financial information (eBills, payments, and payment plans) through our bill payment system called TouchNet. The system requires a separate account than the Southern parent account and authorization from the student for any account you wish to pay towards. You can access the bill payment system at southern.edu/payment.

Students can use the Parent Information form to add parents or update existing parent details.

Parents with a Parent Portal account can update their own information using our Address Change form.

For additional questions contact addresschange@southern.edu.

Student information is protected by FERPA laws. You may view financial and academic information only if your student has allowed you access.

Check with your student about getting access. Students grant permission on their My Access page on the Southern website.

If your student has granted you permission and is still not listed on your Parent Portal page, please contact the Campus Card Desk at 1.800.SOUTHERN or 423.236.2707.
