Online Payments

During the semester, up-to-date account activity and balances can be viewed and paid online.

Parents and others may view account activity and balances and make online payments if their student has set them up as an authorized user. To set up an authorized user, the student will need to:

1. Log in to their online billing account.
2. Click on the “Make a payment” button.
3. When the home screen appears, click on “Authorized Users” at the top right and follow the instructions.

The newly authorized user will then receive emails with instructions that will take them to the student account where balances and account activity can be viewed and payments can be made.

See Online Payments for further information.

International students may make payments by using Flywire or TransferMate. See International Bank Transfers for information.
