Parent Portal
Starting college is an exciting time for young people, and we know that parents and guardians value being able to stay connected with their progress and experience. We are pleased to offer the Parent Portal as a simple way for you to keep up to date and support your young person throughout their time with us.
For parents and guardians of young people joining us in September 2026, the Parent Portal will open on 15 September. This online space will provide you with updates on your young person’s journey at college, including information about their course, attendance, timetable, progress reports and tutor contact details.
Information on how to sign up and access the Parent Portal will be shared at our Meet the Tutor event on 14 September.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have more than one young person at Exeter College
Log in to your Parent Portal account as normal, follow instructions to linking a student, then press Add Student
I do not know my young person’s Student ID No?
Please ask your young person for this – it is a 10 digit no. printed on their student ID card typically starting 9900
I have entered the student ID no. and their DoB but it keeps taking me back to the beginning and asking me to enter the details again?
This is likely to be either:
1. The student ID no. is incorrect (should be 10 digits starting 9900)
2. Date of Birth is incorrect.
How can I check I am registered next of kin?
Ask your young person to check their College eILP (Electronic Individual Learning Plan). Amendments can be made to contact details in Personal Details > Next of Kin > Change details
I want to change my email address on the Parent Portal
First you will need to ask your young person to change the email address they have registered for you on their eILP. Once this has been done you will then need to re-register for the Parent Portal using the new email address.
My young person’s attendance appears to differ from what it should be?
Please contact their tutor.
The timetable is wrong on the parent portal, where should my young person be?
Please contact their tutor.
How can I pay for trips and resources?
How can I find out about parent’s evenings and other events?
