How do I give my parents or guardian access to review my financial information and pay my bill?

Modified on Wed, Apr 23 at 10:37 AM

Is a parent, guardian, or other trusted 3rd-party helping you finance your education? If so, you might want to grant them access to your student account billing information as an Authorized User. You'll do this through the Student Account Center (SAC).
 

To visit the SAC, log into Self-Service with your Lesley username and password at lesley.edu/selfservice. In the Financial Information menu, select "Student Finance" and then "View Billing Activity and Make a Payment." You will be redirected to the Student Account Center.

After you log into the SAC, your home screen will display. Here you can access your profile, review your expenses, make a payment, and manage refunds.



Authorized Users (AUs) can review your account/balance and make a payment towards the account. Only students/primary payers can add an AP. 

 

Adding an Authorized User:
 

1) Select "Authorized Users" the My Profile Setup menu after you've logged in.

4) For ACH, an ACH Payment Agreement will appear. Check the box beside "I agree to the above terms and conditions," and then click on the green button labeled "Continue." For credit cards, you will be directed to our third-party processor, PayPath.
