What is an authorized payer?
An authorized payer is an individual who has been designated by a student to view electronic billing statements or pay a bill online. As an authorized payer, you may change your password, setup and store your own profile and account information, make a payment, or view any past payments you have made on the student’s behalf.
Authorized Payers are parents, spouses, and others, who are given access by the student to view bills and make payments online. USF students may create Authorized Payer profiles through ebill & epay in USFconnect. Once the student provides an Authorized Payer with his/her username and password, an Authorized Payer may login to view bills and make payments – – all online! See Authorized Payer to obtain detailed instructions.
Students can set up a third party (parents are a third party) to have access to the student’s bills and be able to make online payments; the student will need to create a user id and password for the Authorized Payer via the ecampus system. Click here for instructions on setting up Authorize Payers. This will give the parents/authorize payers limited access to the student’s account. The Authorized Payer will be able to see all monthly bills and have access to the Make a Payment screen. They will not have access to your up-to-date account summary. If you would like to grant them full access to your account, you will need to share your ecampus login id and password with your parents/authorize payers. Please note: this will also grant access to your grades and enrollment records.
