Becoming an Authorized User

Becoming an Authorized User is a very important step to becoming involved and staying informed about your student's University fee bill. 

Note, Authorized Users do not receive e-bill notifications for the summer and winter sessions.

Students are able to grant one or more authorized users access to their financial information, including the ability to view charges on the account, pay the bill, or enroll in a payment plan. An authorized user can be parent/guardian, family member, employer, or any other person the student wishes to have access to their account. Adding an authorized user to an account is quick and easy.
