Regaining Access to Your Digital Student Hub
⚠️ Forgot Username or Password
Cause: Lost or forgotten login credentials for your digital portal.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The fastest fix is to click the 'Help' link on the login page and follow the steps for forgotten credentials. If that doesn't work, contact your child's school data manager directly. They can reset your username and provide a temporary password to regain access to your online account management system.
⚠️ No Email on File or Account Not Found
Cause: Your email address is not in the system, or you are not marked as an official guardian.
Solution: Ensure the school has your current email address and that you are listed as an official guardian. Contact your school's data manager to verify and update this information in the Infinite Campus student information system. The data manager can also confirm your guardian status.
⚠️ Cannot Set Up Account on Mobile App
Cause: Initial account creation must be done via a web browser.
Solution: The initial setup of your Campus Parent account must be completed on a computer using a web browser, not the mobile app. Once your account is established online, you can then download and use the Campus Parent app.
⚠️ Activation Code Not Received
Cause: Issues with email delivery or incorrect email on file.
Solution: Double-check your spam or junk folder for the activation code. If it's still missing, confirm with your school's data manager that your correct email address is on record. They can assist in resending the code or provide alternative authentication methods.
