Frequently asked questions about learning to use UNCW's SeaNet as a student proxy. View courses, GPA and other key information.
We put together a list of FAQs to help a study proxy use SeaNet.
Proxies are identified by e-mail address, and that address can be assigned as a proxy for multiple students. This is particularly useful in the case of siblings both attending UNCW. For example, a mom's e-mail address might be uncwmom@server.com. Multiple students can assign that address as their proxy.
Yes. Each student who grants proxy access to an e-mail address has complete control over the access for their account, including start and stop dates and permission levels.
Ideally, no. However, parents can share an e-mail address if a student wishes to grant proxy access to both using that address.
We ask that when completing the first name field if this is how the student wishes to set it up. The student enters both first names (example: Mary and David). In the relationship description field, enter "parents" or "mom and dad" so it's clear to any administrator reviewing the permissions that this e-mail address is for multiple persons.
Administrators at UNCW cannot change the permission settings for proxies. Only the student granting the proxy access can change the permissions that are granted.
A passphrase is a unique code word or phrase that is assigned by a student to each proxy they set up. The passphrase is required when a proxy calls a university department and needs to have conversations about confidential information regarding a student. University administrators will validate the passphrase and access granted to the proxy before having conversations with a proxy. This is done to protect the rights of the student.
Administrators cannot send you the passphrase nor can we share it with you. The student who set you up as a proxy can log into SeaNet, and can access the Proxy Access menu and can click E-mail Passphrase to send it to you.
The proxy will see your preferred first name in areas where you see your preferred first name and have given the proxy access.
You can send an email to or contact the Office of the Registrar.
