Message from Drake IT
Functions previously accessed from the MyDUSIS link in myDrake are now available from the Self Service link and will take you to a new landing page. Student and faculty profile pages have also updated; more information can be found in these Self Service guides. Additionally, Drake launched a new method for students to grant a parent/guardian access to their academic information, Proxy Access. Students will need to re-enroll parents/guardians by Feb. 1 (see Authorizing Proxy Access (How-to). Finally, as a reminder, accessing Self Service now requires the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA). Learn more at Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ).
