For parents

Link your account to your student's and follow the college process without running it. You get a read-only view of their profile and progress, and you handle the subscription. Everything your student builds stays theirs.

Your dashboard

One dashboard for every student you link

Each student you link to shows up with their college planning status. Add a student by email, accept the ones who invite you, and open any of them to see where things stand.

  • Link by email, or accept a request from your student
  • A card per student, with profile and billing one click away
  • Link and unlink at any time, from either side

Read-only access

Their profile and progress, read-only

Open a student to see the same profile they see: academics, test scores, activities, honors, and the story they're building with Mascot. An onboarding score and a breakdown by section show what's done and what's still missing. You can look but you can't edit.

  • Academics, testing, activities, and honors in one view
  • Onboarding completion and which sections are incomplete
  • University matches when your student shares them

Billing

Take the subscription off your student's plate

While your link is active you manage your student's plan: check the current tier and usage, change plans, and buy add-ons. The student can reclaim billing whenever they want.

  • Current plan and usage for the period
  • Change plans and buy add-ons for your student
  • Student can take billing back at any time

How linking works

  1. 1

    Your student makes their account

    Parent access always starts from the student. They join Mascot AI and set up their profile first.

  2. 2

    Link the two accounts

    Send a request from your dashboard using your student's account email, or have them invite you from their settings.

  3. 3

    They accept

    Once your student accepts, you get a read-only view of their profile and progress, plus billing management. Either of you can unlink at any time.

Parents are always read-only. You can view what your student shares and manage the subscription. You cannot create, edit, or delete their profile, essays, or matches.
