PAWS - Designate Access
This article shows how a user can create a Designate Account on PAWS for other individuals such as Parents or Legal Guardians to use for PAWS. Users are limited to create three Designated Access accounts.
Troubleshooting
NOTE: The designated accounts ARE care sensitive. Meaning that the Username should be exactly like how it is on the Designated Access page. For example, if you make a designated access account, it should appear like so on the PAWS Login Page (Ex. JDHERON_D1)
Students who create Designated Access Account should also be familiar with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA):
Student FERPA Consent
