Students must log into their payment portal and set up their authorized user(s) (parents, guardians, employers, etc.). Students may add, remove, or update their authorized users at any time. These changes can only be done by the student through their account.
Once this is finished, the payment portal system will email the authorized user two separate emails. The first email will notify the user of the account being created. The second email will provide the user a temporary password to log into the payment portal.
**These emails may take up to 5 minutes before appearing in the authorized user’s email account.
Depending on what the student has given access to, the authorized user may or may not be able to view statements or payment history. Authorized users have access to make payments, enroll in payment plans, view previous payments they have made, review/change their profile information, or view other student accounts they have been granted access to.
***Note: If the authorized user forgets their password for the payment portal, they will need to enter their email address and select “Forgot Password”. The system will email a temporary password to log into the payment portal.
