What is the parent portal and how does it work?

MSU’s Parent Portal will connect students’ myState Banner accounts to their families. Class Schedules, course progress, class attendance, account information, financial aid, meal plan and campus resources are available to view on the Parent Portal. *Parents will not be able to access this until your student grants you permission.

How do I Change my Password in the parent portal?

Enter your Parent Portal User ID (email address) and the password that you previously created. The password should never be shared. All pages are personal and confidential. If you suspect that someone else may know your password, use the Change Password option to change your password after logging in. Having trouble logging in?

How do I grant access to my parent/guardian's education records?

By the student providing an email address of the parent/guardian, the student is authorizing Mississippi State University to grant access to education records to the parent/guardian through the University's Parent Portal online system.

Five things to know as your kid bolts for college

In this article from Rick Shipman, MSU's Director of Financial Aid, he describes how parents can help prepare their students as they plan to pay for a college education.

Parent PLUS loans

Parents of dependent undergraduate students may be eligible to borrow a federal Parent PLUS loan. A FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) must be on file for the student for the aid year in which you intend to borrow.

Guest access

Students can grant permission to parents or other interested parties to view their financial aid awards online via StuInfo. The guest must have a valid email address. Due to privacy regulations, only the student can grant this permission. For more information, see our guest access page.

Security questions in StuInfo

To verify a caller’s identity when discussing private financial aid information over the phone, the Office of Financial Aid requires that the person first answer a set of security questions in StuInfo . All students who receive financial aid and wish to discuss their private information with our staff by phone must complete this process.
