Online Billing
Only the first statement of each semester is mailed to the home address. For the remainder of the term, up-to-date activity can be found online.
Student Access to Online Billing and Payments
Students have access to account activity, statement PDFs and balances through their self-service portal.
Student-Only Access:
- Log in to the student online-billing account.

Parent Access to Online Billing and Payments
Parents and others can view account activity and balances, make payments, and set up a payment plan online only if their student sets them up as an authorized user. No one else can do this.
To set up an authorized user, the student should:
- Log in to their student online-billing account.
- Click Make a payment.
- On the home page under “My Profile Setup,” click on “Authorized User” at the top right of the page and follow the instructions.
The newly authorized user will receive emails with instructions on how to log in.
