When logging into the Xavier College parent portal, it is important that you are using your Xavier College parent login. This is your parent username followed by “@xavier.vic.edu.au” – For example, Joseph.Parent@xavier.vic.edu.au
If you use SharePoint for your work/educational institute (e.g. if you are also studying a course) this may disrupt your login process as the browser may retain and prioritise your other credentials, thus disrupting your Xavier College parent login.
To ensure that SharePoint recognises your appropriate logins, you can add additional account profiles and easily switch from one to the other as required.
