Parent/Guest Access
Parent/Guest Access Setup Instructions
Note that Bursar parent/guest access DOES NOT provide access to your grades, student judicial affairs, income or personal information.
Students can set up access to some of their financial accounts for parents and other guests with the following steps:
- Login to your LOCUS account at: www.luc.edu/locus.
- Click on Personal Portfolio.
- Click on Parent/Guest Access.
- Click on Add Parent/Guest.
- Click the 'I Accept' button on the consent form.
- For each parent or guest, enter:
- The person's last and first name
- E-mail address
- A password (You may assign the same password to all those who receive permission; or assign a different password for each.)
The password is case-sensitive, must be 6 characters in length and include 2 digits. The university will assign each proxy with a Universal ID, which will be sent to each via the e-mail addresses you provided.
*THE STUDENT is the only person who has the password(s) for those who have Parent/Guest Access, and will need to communicate this information to them. The university does not provide or maintain these passwords.
- Check off all relevant Bursar section boxes: Account Summary, Financial Aid, e-Bill, 1098T, View & Create Payment Plan, and Waive/Fast Track Student Health Insurance. The Discuss Academic Record option is maintained and regulated by the Office of Registration and Records.
- Click Save.
Make certain to let the parent or guest know when they have been set up with access and provide them with their password(s).
New Access options for current users
Beginning Spring 2010, additional Parent/Guest Access features will be available when viewing your student (LOCUS) account. This new feature will allow Parents/Guests, to whom you have previously granted access to "View my Account Summary," "View my Financial Aid", "View 1098T", and "View my e-Bill", the capability to review an installment plan option or the option to waive out of the student health insurance on your behalf (View & Create Payment Plan, Waive/Fast Track Student Health Insurance).
Parents/Guests with such access rights to all four original views will be able to log into LOCUS and submit the necessary information to set up an installment plan or submit your alternate insurance coverage information, just as you do now. This new feature will not permit Parents/Guests access to any physician information or medical records.
Activation of this new Parent/Guest feature will be automatic. If you do NOT want your Parent/Guest to have the ability to set up an installment plan or waive/fast track for student health insurance, you can simply edit the access by unselecting the check box marked "View & Create Payment Plan" or "Waive/Fast Track Student Health Insurance" and the Parent/Guest will no longer have access.
