Access Instructions for AEA Staff

Student Success is part of Iowa's MTSS and Early Warning System. All users access Student Success via the Iowa Education Portal (EdPortal), an Iowa Department of Education site that acts as a gateway to several education applications, including FastBridge and Student Success. Specific steps are required for users to be granted access to Student Success via their EdPortal account and the steps are different for LEA vs AEA staff.

For AEA staff:

The steps for access depend upon which user role you need. AEA user roles should NOT be entered in any district's student information system. 

The steps for access are available in this AEA Quick Start Guide, including the list of AEA contacts for support and questions related to AEA access.
