Adding a Parent to your Student Portal

If you need to activate or add a parent/guardian on the Parent Portal there are a couple of quick ways you can do this.

Linking a Parent/Guardian to your Portal (using their request)

Firstly, access your student portal - Student Portal | Overview (runshaw.ac.uk)

You can review and authorize the request by pressing ‘Click here’ on the yellow ‘You have actions pending’ banner as so:

Open

Located near the top of your Student Portal

On the next page Press the ‘Edit’ Pencil Icon:

Open

Until Confirmed it’ll show a status as Awaiting Student Confirmation

Then you will be able to review what access a parent will have access to:

Tick or untick the option if you do or don’t live with that parent/guardian (as above)

If you agree with the access terms, press ‘Save’ & this will then link the Parent to your Portal.

Or you can send a request to the parent yourself from the top menu of the Student Portal, by selecting My > Parents/Guardians

Press ‘Add Account’ Button

In the box add the Parent/Guardian Email address & press Save. This will send an email for them to verify and accept. Once accepted, they’ll be linked to your parent portal.
