Overview
This article provides instructions for creating an Authorized User account. You can give others (parents, employers, etc.) the ability to access your account information. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), your student financial records may not be shared with a third party without your written consent. Adding an authorized user is your written consent that an individual may view your account information and make payments on your behalf. Please note that authorized users DO NOT have access to your stored payment methods, academic records, or other personal information.
Instructions
To set up an authorized user on your account, navigate to the Authorizing Payments by Others page on JCCC's website or follow the instructions below:
- Log in to MyFinances using your MyJCCC username and password.
- Select Authorized Users under My Profile Setup.
- Select Add Authorized User.
- Provide the email address for the person you wish to pay your account.
- If you do not wish your authorized user to view your payment history and account activity, check the box No. Note that granting access to view payment history does not enable the authorized user to see information about the account number from which the payment was made.
- If you do not wish your authorized user to be able to view your 1098-T tax statement, check the box No.
- Select Continue.
- Check the box I Agree.
- Select Continue.
Once you have added an authorized user, the system will send that person an email to complete the setup process.
