Authorized User
Authorized Access 2.0
Ohio University students are able to set up Authorized Users to view student account activity, make payments, enroll in a semester payment plan, manage waivable fees, and view 1098-T information. Authorized users will also receive e-mail notifications regarding student account balances. Once authorized, the user will login to the Authorized User Portal using the e-mail address provided during the authorized user set up.
Please note that parents/guardians who sign in using a student’s OHIO ID and password will not receive important e-mail communications from the Office of the Bursar. The only way to receive our communications is to sign up as an authorized user.
