Students at Oakland University can grant access to parts of their MySAIL account to guests by creating a MySAIL proxy account. Most commonly used by Parents/Guardians to view their child's class schedule, grades, and bills. The student will need to create the proxy account on behalf of the guest through their own MySAIL account.
Who is Eligible?
Parents/Guardians/Guests who have been given access by a Student at Oakland University.
Prerequisites and Expectations
After submitting a request or reporting an issue, a technician will reach out to provide support or fulfill the request.
How it works:
- Initial Setup: Once the Student grants Proxy Access to a parent, the parents will receive 2 emails. One of the Emails has a Temporary Password, and the other one a Proxy Setup Link.
- Next Step: The Parent/Guardian will copy the Temporary Password from the email labeled "Oakland University Proxy - temporary password for PIN reset" into the link in the email that says "Oakland University Proxy - set your new PIN". The link in the email will open up with a page that requests the following:
- Email Address
- Initial Password (Temporary Password from email)
- New Six Digit Pin
- Verify Six Digit Pin
- Final Steps: Once they have completed these steps they will be able to go to sail.oakland.edu and go to "Proxy Login" where they can put their email in the "Username" field, and enter their six digit pin they set into the password field.
- If the email expires, they must go to sail.oakland.edu and go to "Proxy Login" enter their email in the Username field while leaving the password field blank, and clicking forgotten password. They will then repeat the instructions from Steps 1-3.
