Add another person to a student account

How to add another person, such as a parent, to a student’s account. This person is considered an “Authorized Payer.” Authorized Payers have access to view a student’s account and also have the option to pay a student’s bill.

Log in as an Authorized Payer

From the student’s MyUW Student Center:

1. Select “Financial Account”
2. Navigate to the Manage My Payment section, then select  “Manage My Payment”
3. Select your name to view your profile (upper right hand corner)
4. Select “Send a Payer Invitation” under the Payers section
5. Enter all required information
6. Add optional message to be included in Authorized Payer notification

The email address should be the Authorized Payer’s email.

• The Authorized Payer will receive an email with their username, temporary password and a link to the login page.  Temporary passwords expire after 48 hours.
• Login using the temporary password.  The site will prompt you to change your password.
• Create a security question.

Authorized payers that have access to multiple student’s accounts can link the accounts.

1. Each student must first complete the process of setting up an authorized payer
2. Login to your parent portal for one of your students
3. Once in the ‘Overview’ section, select ‘View a different student’ linked in the upper right hand corner
4. Select the button ‘Link to another student’
5. On the next screen, login using your second student’s account by entering that username and password
6. Select ‘Continue’ to link the accounts
7. Repeat these steps to add additional student’s accounts

Please note: If using the same email address for multiple student accounts, do not use the ‘forgot password’ option on the portal. Your student will need to reset your password by resending the payer invitation.
