How: After logging in to the Student Account Suite, or link here, the student will access the ‘My Profile Setup’ menu option “Authorized Users” to grant access and provide the preferred email address(es) for each User.

Authorized User access is required for a parent/guardian to enroll in the Monthly Payment Plan each semester.

Due to federal student privacy regulations, should a parent, guardian or other person(s) wish to discuss the student account, the student is required to designate Authorized User access. When a student grants access, the Authorized User(s) will immediately receive two emails from our system; the first email alerts them to access being granted and provides their username (their email address) and the link to access the website. The second email is their temporary password. Upon first logging in, they will be asked to enter their first and last name and create their unique password.
