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 email notifications regarding student account balances. Once authorized, the user will login to the Authorized User Portal using the email 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 email communications from the Office of the Bursar. The only way to receive our communications is to sign up as an authorized user.
