Students

1. Go to cyberfriar.providence.edu.
2. Click Login to Secure Area and enter your Providence College credentials.
3. Click on Proxy Access.
4. Click on Proxy Management.

   • Award Package
   • Award History
   • Financial Aid Status
   • Student Holds
   • Student Grades

Parents

Once you have been added as a proxy, you will receive an email from cyberfriar_access@providence.edu with a link to follow with an initial password. This will activate your proxy account.  Follow the instructions by establishing a permanent password for subsequent logins.

Please note that proxy access does not supersede FERPA authorization by your student. If you need further information other than what your student has given you access to through this system, please verify with your student that a FERPA form has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Also, access to the system is at the discretion of your student and can be rescinded at any time by your student.

Returning users should bookmark the proxy access login page.

We hope that Proxy Access will allow for a more user-friendly way to share information. We encourage you to discuss with your student your own expectations regarding this resource.
