CU Guest Access

CU Guest Access provides read-only, online access for guests to view specific components of your education records. Guests can't make any changes to your records or complete any transactions on your behalf, and you can modify or revoke their access at any time.

Note: CU Guest Access does not authorize a guest to contact the university to request or discuss your student education record. Student record information can only be accessed by a parent or third party if the student has filed a FERPA Consent to Release. If you set a preferred name in MyCUInfo, it will be visible to designated guests after logging into CU Guest Access.

Students: How to Set Up CU Guest Access

You may grant access to an unlimited number of guests, and the record items you select can be unique for each guest. The information you share is the same as what you access through MyCUInfo. You may assign, modify or revoke access at any time.

Log in to the student portal.
Click to expand the Profile & Settings menu on the right side of the page.
Click Manage Profile and Privacy.
In the pop-up menu, click CU Guest Access.
Click Authorize CU Guest Access.
Read the terms and conditions, then click I accept.
Enter the guest’s name and email address,* then select which items you want the guest to be able to access.
When you're done, click Save.
You’ll receive a confirmation message and an email summary confirming the record items you’ve granted your guest access to view online.

*Note: The email address you use for each guest should match their LinkedIn, Facebook or Google login address; CU Guest Access requires guests to use one of these social media platforms to authenticate their identity.

Guests: How to Activate CU Guest Access

Creating a guest account is a two-step process. Once the student submits your credentials, you’ll receive an email listing the record components to which they've granted you access, along with a link to create your account.

Step One: Authentication (For First-Time Users and Returning Guests)

From the link contained in the email, visit the University of Colorado's CU Guest Access authentication page.
You must connect your new CU Guest Access account to an existing LinkedIn, Facebook or Google/Gmail that matches the email address where you received the first email. If you do not have such an account, you'll need to either create one or ask the student to establish your access using a different email address.
Follow the on-screen steps to authenticate your social media login with CU System Login (steps differ slightly for each social media provider).
On the "Create Account" screen, enter the email address where you received the email and your first and last name. Click Create Account.
1. If a message tells you the email address is incorrect, click OK, check your email address and try again.
2. If an error message tells you an account already exists with that email address, you likely created a CU Guest Account earlier with a different student. Click OK, click on the CU Guest Access link on the logout page and log back in with your social ID. Accept the terms and conditions and provide the security key found in the most recent email.

Returning guests: The authentication is complete, and the information for your additional student should be avaiable via CU Guest Access.

First-time users: If your authentication is successful, then you've finished the first step in creating your CU Guest Access account. You'll receive a second email from do-not-reply@cu.edu with instructions to complete the final step.

Step Two: Activation (For First-Time Users Only)

Once you receive the second email, follow the steps below to activate your CU Guest Account.

Go to the University of Colorado's CU Guest Access authentication page.
Sign in using the same LinkedIn, Facebook or Google/Gmail account you connected to your new account in the previous step.
On the terms and conditions page:
1. Read the terms and conditions, then click the checkbox next to "I accept terms and conditions."
2. Enter the security key contained in the second email.
3. Enter the email address to which the email was sent.
4. Click Submit.
You now have access to the Shared Information Center. To exit, click Sign out.
