Parent/Guest Dashboard
- After a student grants access to their account, the Guest/Parent will need to log in to the dashboard at MyRED.unl.edu.
- The dashboard will show a list of students the guest account has access to.
- Blue tiles with a student's name indicates the student has granted guest access.
- Gray tiles with a student's name indicates the student has not yet granted guest access.
- If the student attends more than one campus, a list will appear over the tiles. The guest can select the campus. After the guest select the tile, they will be taken to the campus page with the student's information.
