Electronic Payments

Before you or a third party you designate, such as your parent or guardian, can make electronic payments, you must set up an account.

Below please find information on common questions about this process.

Setting Up a Third Party User

Your parent or guardian can view and pay your bill, but only if you create a third party user account for them.
