Becoming an Authorized User

Granting Authorized User Access

Becoming an Authorized User is an important step in staying informed and involved with your student’s university fee bill. Students may grant Authorized User’s access to their financial information, including the ability to view account charges, make payments, download the fee bill and enroll in a payment plan. An Authorized User may be a parent or guardian, family member, employer, or any individual the student chooses to provide access. Students may have more than one Authorized User.

Authorized Users will receive email notifications regarding the fee bill. Authorized Users who wish to speak or email on behalf of a student must provide the student’s 7-digit PeopleSoft ID and the FERPA 4-digit pin created by the student. Please note that becoming an Authorized User and obtaining a FERPA 4-digit PIN are two separate forms of access.

Please review the following options on how one may become an Authorized User.
