Instructions for Authorized User Access to Online Payments



Access to Online Payment Software

Authorized Users have been given authorization by a student to make a secure online payment on that student's account. All online payments are applied immediately to the student's account in Campus Connection. Following are steps to access the online payment software:

  1. The online payment software can be accessed two different ways:
    • Through the path that is included on the email notification 'You have been given access'.
    • On the Campus Connection home page: Do not sign into Campus Connection; instead, click on the link for the 'Authorized User for Online Payments' in the bottom left corner.

  2. The Authorized User Login Site:
    • The email address used in the email notification is the Authorized User's login.
    • The initial password is on the email notification.

  3. Upon entering the online payment software for the first time, the user will be required to complete some Profile Setup information.

    • E-mail Address: This should not be changed as this is equal to the login name. If the authorized user wishes to have the login ID changed to a different email address, the student will need to delete the old Authorized User and add a new Authorized User with the new email address.

    • Alternate E-mail Address: If this alternative email address is added, the automatic notifications will be sent to both email addresses.

    • Enter your New password: changing the password from the initial password is required

    • Password Hint: Put something into this box which will remind you of your password. The Authorized User Login Site has a link for 'password hint'. If the password is forgotten, simply click on this link after entering your E-mail login and your hint will appear. Be careful to use a hint that is only identifiable by you, which will help prompt you to remember your password.

  4. An Authorized User has access to make payments to the student account. Depending upon security granted by the student, the Authorized User may also have access to view:
    • Financial detail within the online payment software.
    • All preceding payments and who made the payments.


Personalized Information in 'My Profile'

Personalized information is located in the 'My Profile' link in the toolbar.

  1. Personal Profile: The Personal Profile information was updated the first time the Authorized User logged in. After the first login, the Authorized User may change the information at this location.

  2. Payment Profile: A checking or savings account profile may be saved for future payment transactions. This payment profile can be modified or deleted by the authorized user. The student is not able to view the Authorized Userbs Payment Profile.

* In order to save the checking or savings account profile, enter the last four digits of the student ID into the box at the bottom of the agreement.
* A payment method profile is not saved for credit cards.



Authorization for Multiple Students

Multiple students may authorize the same individual for access to each student account. To select a specific student, click on 'Select Student' in the toolbar.



Using the Online Payment System to Make Payments


Make a general payment on the account

  1. Click on the bPaymentsb link on the toolbar and then click on 'Make a Payment' under the Most Recent Billing Statement.

  2. Select one of the 'Payment Methods':

    • If a Payment Profile has not been set up, click on 'New Bank Account (checking/savings)'. A Payment Date may be set to a future date.

  3. If paying by credit card, click on 'Credit Card via PayPath'. The credit card payments do not allow future dating.
    • Clicking on the 'Continue to PayPath' link brings the student to the PayPath secure credit card processing site. A non-refundable PayPath service fee of 2.75% (minimum $3.00) will be added to the credit card payment. PayPath accepts MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
    • The userbs email address in the online payment software does not carry over to PayPath. Therefore, to receive a payment confirmation email, enter your email address in PayPath.
