Parent Portal Guide

Before Getting Started: Parents and guardians with multiple students at Mississippi State do not need separate Parent Portal accounts. As long as each student grants access using the same email address, the parent or guardian may use the same login credentials to view available information for all students.

Authorizing Other Users to Access Account Information

To grant a parent or guardian access to the Parent Portal, students should follow the steps outlined below.

• Students should sign into myState.
• Once logged in, select the Banner tab located under App & Services.
• Click the Students tab.
• Under Academic Records, select FERPA Release & Parent Portal Access.
• Click Add New Parent/Guardian and enter the required information, including the parent or guardian's email address.
• After the information has been saved, the parent or guardian will receive an email with instructions for creating a password and accessing the Parent Portal. 

Password Reset: Students can return to the FERPA Release & Parent Portal Access page and select the "Reset Password" option for the parent or guardian who needs assistance accessing the Parent Portal.

For account balances and payment access, parents and guardians must be added as an Authorized User in QuikPAY by the student.
