"Proxy access" is the ability students have to grant others access to view their financial aid information in BU BRAIN. The person granted access to the information is known as the "proxy." The most common scenario is granting a parent access information. The student controls what information to share and who can view it. At this time, only financial aid information is available through Proxy Access.
How to add a Proxy
Students can add a "proxy" by following these directions:
1. Login to BU BRAIN, Proxy Access tab
2. Click on Proxy Management
3. Click on Add Proxy.
4. Follow any remaining prompts to finalize.
Note: There is a separate process the student must follow to add an authorized payer in QuikPAY for billing purposes.
