Authorized User Login

The AUTHORIZED USERS feature of SIS must be set up by your student. Students can set up an account for a parent or guardian which gives them access to their schedule, grades, billing, financial aid, and J-Card information. If you require access to any of these features, you must get your student to grant the access.
