Authorized Payer Account
Federal privacy regulations limit the access of other people, including family members, to student accounts. For parents or other parties to be able to view and pay monthly E-Bills, students must set you up as an Authorized Payer through their Student Services Online (SSOL) portal.
The Payment Plan enables students and/or families to pay billed expenses over several months, rather than in one payment. It's not a loan, and while there is an application fee, there are no interest charges or credit checks. Students may sign up through SSOL and authorized payers through E-Billing.
