Overview
In order to access a student's bill and perform transactions on their behalf, the student must initiate the process to authorize any parent/family member/other individual to access their financial record. Once authorized, parents/family members/other individuals can request specific account information, enroll in the Triton Registration Installment Plan on behalf of their student, make payments, and access their own "Authorized Payer" portal.
Critical Concepts
- Students may authorize up to three payers to view and pay their university bill.
- Students may cancel any authorized payer at any time.
- If anyone other than the student contacts our office to request account information, and they have not been authorized, SFS cannot disclose any information specific to the account in question.
- The "Authorized Payer" portal is different/separate from the Student portal, TritonLink.
