MyUCDavis Viewer Access

The Online Student Services portal features a Viewer tool that provides authorized staff and faculty the student view of MyUCDavis. With this tool, users can assist students in interacting with the portal. Users with access to the tool can view student registration, student records, and other portal features requiring authentication for access.  Using the Viewer tool allows greater customer service when supporting student requests regarding online systems. The tool is for viewing only and users cannot save registration changes to a student’s record.
