Authorized Payers

What is an “Authorized Payer?"

Someone to whom the student has given permission to view and pay their tuition and fees. Usually this is a parent, but it can be anyone.

An Authorized Payer:

  • gets an email notice when new bill is ready
  • sees the same statement and history as the student
  • can view all new charge activity in detail
  • can securely store payment profiles for easy transactions
  • can to setup installment plans

A student can establish multiple authorized payers on their account. Authorized payers and students can reset account passwords as needed. 

Authorized payer access cannot be used to pay tuition scholarships. Sponsors can contact bursar@vt.edu for invoice or scholarship payment options.

Students can revoke the access of an authorized payer.

How Authorized Payments Work

  1. Authorized Payers and the student will receive an email notification (eBill) each time a statement is generated.
  2. You can view and print your student's eBills.
  3. You can make online payments on your student's behalf. Read more about payment options.
  4. You can save payment methods and the student cannot see these.
