How do I manage parent and guest access settings for students?

Career Cruising for K-12 provides the option for students to invite parents/guardians to join the Parent Portal. It also allows them to send a temporary invitation to any email address so a person can access and comment on their My Plan portfolio. Each school has the option to enable or disable these features.

To manage a student’s ability to provide Parent Access in the Career Advisor Management System (CAMS):

1. From your Advisor Homepage, click Portfolio Options.
2. Under Portfolio Settings, find Allow students to invite their parents. Choose Active or Inactive and click Save.

Note: Advisors can also create parent access codes within CAMS to invite parents to join the Parent Portal. For more on this topic, view the instructions for creating parent access codes.
