Creating a Third Party Account

Students can set up Third Party Accounts for parents or other individuals who may need access to their billing and student record information. This access gives third parties the ability to view information online only. FERPA regulations prevent University staff from discussing the U-Bill directly without written consent from the student. Students are responsible for creating and maintaining all third party accounts.
