We've received a few questions about resetting Parent Portal passwords.
If you can already log in to Parent Portal, you do not need to change your password.
In April, Ascender adopted new password requirements. These requirements only apply if you need to reset your password.
If you need to create a new password, it must:
- Be 16–46 characters long.
- Include at least one uppercase letter (A–Z).
- Include at least one lowercase letter (a–z).
- Include at least one number (0–9).
- Include at least one special character: @, #, $, %, or +.
- Do not use spaces or these characters: ! ? * & ^
If you need additional help, scroll to the bottom of this page to find your campus registrar's contact information. Our staff is happy to assist you.
