What is Third Party Access?

Students can choose to share their official WSU records with a parent, guardian, or other trusted individual by providing Third Party Access. This allows individuals to sign in to myWSU and view a student’s financial account balances, financial aid, class schedules, grades, and more. WSU students set up Third Party Access through myWSU by creating a Friend ID and an authorization code for each individual that will receive access.

  • Sign in and review any information the student has shared.
