Parents and legal guardians have access to the Parent Portal in most cases. To access the portal you need to login with the following username and password:

Username – this is the student’s college ID number followed by a “p”. e.g. 355663p
Password – initially this is the student’s date of birth in the format ddmmyyyy e.g. 01091998

You may change your password to something of your own choosing after login – once logged in, see the ‘Parent’s Guide to the Portal’ for guidance.

Parent’s Portal – Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the student has access to all this information via Proportal. Students access this using the ILP panels on the homepage of Moodle using the same login that they use to get into college computers. The student probably already uses this system at college.
Assuming the student in question has consented to share information with you, check the following:
  1. First, check that you have used the login as described above – you will need the student’s ID number which is on their college ID card. It’s also quite common for people to forget the “p” after the students ID number – this is what identifies the login as being from a parent, so it’s as well to double check that it was included (e.g. 569117p).
  2. We have found that some work places and institutional locations block access to parent logins due to internal security. If possible, you may want to try from home or another connection. Sometimes simply trying from another computer or device may also help. Parents Portal will work on a smart phone with a 4G connection.
