Payment Methods & Authorized Users

Authorized Users

Want to help manage a student’s account? The Authorized User feature makes it easy!
As an Authorized User, you can:

  • Receive email notifications when a new statement is available
  • Make secure online payments
  • View account activity anytime

Note: Authorized User access is different from the Parent Portal and FERPA permissions. You’ll be able to manage financial tasks, but you won’t have access to grades or other academic records.
