WHAT IS OWU SELF-SERVICE?
110 views | 0 Vote this question as useful. 0 Vote this question as not
useful. | Last updated on Sep 19, 2023 Self-Service
OWU Self-Service is an online system designed to provide students, faculty, and
administrators with “anytime, anywhere” access to many information services.
It's primarily the web interface for our student information system (SIS), where
students go to register for classes, check their schedule and view their midterm
and final grades. Faculty use it to view their class lists and submit grades,
while advisors use it to approve their advisees' course loads. It also provides
links to many other services, such as textbook lookup, shared access for family
members, student account balances, and financial aid. Students and employees
will find more information in BishopWorks.

If you do not already have an OWU email account, contact the Faculty/Staff Help
Desk at helpdesk@owu.edu or (740)368-3120 for an EFL login username and
temporary password, then follow these steps: To set up your EFL account, first
click to read the EFL Terms of Service. Then click here to go to the password
reset page: I have read and agree to the EFL Terms of Service. We will need to
have an alternate, non-OWU email address on file for you. You will be prompted
for your alternate email address. Just type that in and click the Submit Request
button. A password reset link will then be sent to that address. Follow the link
to create a new account password. Once your EFL account is set up and you have
your password, you may begin using your BishopMail. Note: Once you activate your
EFL account, it will automatically become your primary email address in the OWU
system. It is not necessary to contact Alumni Records to update this
information.

4. Use the checkbox to select the course to be dropped.
5. Click Next at the bottom of your screen. You will need to click the Next

Please do not place a check mark next to the courses you would like to keep on
your schedule. We have had several students drop all of their courses in the
past few days because they placed a check mark next to all of the courses for
which they were registered and hit next without reading the warning prompts.

HOW DO I GRANT ACCESS TO MY ACADEMIC RECORDS TO MY PARENTS OR OTHER FAMILY
MEMBER?
69 views | 0 Vote this question as useful. 0 Vote this question as not
useful. | Last updated on Sep 19, 2023 Self-Service
Please note: Shared billing and payment access is now handled via Nelnet, our
CampusCommerce site. (See the next FAQ section, below, for that.) Self-Service
shared access is used for granting a relative access to your financial aid,
grades, and other academic information.
In Self-Service, the relative must already be listed in the system as having a
relationship with the student. In many cases, this has already been done. If the
person you wish to invite does not appear in the drop down box described below,
or the person’s email address is incorrect, please contact the Registrar’s
Office.
1. 1. Log in to OWU Self Service.
2. Hover over your first name at top right, and select “Profile” from the
menu. (If the menu disappears as you move your pointer down, open the
Navigation Menu, to the right of your name, where you’ll also find a link
to your Profile.)
4. Select the “Shared Access” tab all the way right. (You might have to use
the right arrow to find it.)
5. Click on the plus sign in the upper right.
6. Select a Relative from the drop-down list.
7. If there is no email address shown, you’ll have to enter one for them.
Either way, the invitation will be sent to the email address you submit. An
incorrect email address may allow unintended access to your account. You are
responsible for granting this access, so be sure that the email address is
correct.
8. Place a checkmark next to the information you wish to share. You may
share your academic plan, schedule, grades, stop list, financial aid, and/or
address.
9. Read and place a checkmark next to the Disclosure Statement.
10. Click the “Send ” button. This will send an email invitation to the
relative. You will now see the invitation on the Shared Access main page,
where you can now cancel the pending invite.
And you will receive an email confirmation of the invite, as well.

3. Select Permission Requests from the menu on the left side of the screen. The
title of the page should now read Enrollment – Permission Requests.

off to the right. Click on the course you would like to review. You may also use
the menu beneath the Select Course option to navigate to your course.
6. Only those students requesting permission will appear in the new window.
7. Choose Approved or Denied, whichever is appropriate, from the Status drop
down menu and hit save. Changes will not be saved if you exit prior to saving.
Note: You can change the view from View All to, Approved, Denied, or Waiting
using the Select Status drop down menu located in the upper middle of the window
next to the course name. This makes it easier to find those students waiting for
approval.
8. The system updates the registration totals and class roster upon your
approval unless the student’s registration portal is closed. If the automatic
update does not occur, the student will need to register for the course when the
portal is again available to the student.

permission to enter a class.
