Go to the “My Account” - “Payers” section and Select “Send a payer invitation”
Step 4
In the “Payer information” section, the Student enters the first name, last name, email address, and confirmation of the parent’s email address.
If you would like your parent to also have access to your student billing statements, select “Allow access to statements.” You may also enter an optional message to be included in the welcome email.
Click “Send invitation” and a confirmation screen will appear. Within a few minutes the new Parent User will be sent a welcome email containing a temporary password.

The new Parent User enters their User Name (email address) and the Temporary Password at the login screen.
They will be immediately asked to change that temporary password.
