Profile Sharing on myUMBC

How to safely share your academic information with others

Did you know that you can share your myUMBC profile with your parent, guardian, or whomever you wish without having to give out your password or login credentials?

Profile sharing allows them to have access to information that you see fit, whether that be grades, billing, financial aid, etc. This can be useful to allow them to see and access certain information, especially if you are not always around to show them or if you only want them to look at some information and not everything. You have complete control when using this feature, which means you can also revoke people’s access to information at any time.

To access profile sharing, you can click on your picture in the top right of your myUMBC page and select “Sharing”. 

A screenshot of a menu with a blue button at the top reading “View Profile”. Below that is a list titled “Settings” with options for “Avatar”, “Notifications”, “Security”, and “Sharing”. Below this is a red button with an icon and text reading “Log Out”.

From here, the process is pretty straightforward. You should see instructions on how to share information with those who have an email address and a social account they can log in through, such as Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. This is also where you specify what information they will have access to. There is no limit to the number of people you share access to, but be careful and make sure it's people you trust with your information. 


REMINDER: DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD OR CREDENTIALS WITH ANYONE
