Access a Student Record via the Parent/Guest Portal for the First Time (Public)

If a student has granted you third-party access to his or her records, you can view the student's records through the Parent/Guest Portal in STAR. The Parent/Guest Portal is available from noon Sunday through 11:00 a.m. Saturday, except for Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 1:30 – 4:30 a.m. EST due to system maintenance.

The login page for the Parent/Guest Portal is located at parent-guest.portal.wvu.edu. For assistance, submit a WVU IT request.

How do I access the student's records?

1. Go to the parent/guest email inbox where the invitation was sent. Open the email with the subject New proxy identity.

2. Click the first link (the action URL). A new window will open to the portal.
