*Authorized users will only receive notifications about payment plans if the student has granted this access in TouchNet. To ensure that your authorized user has been set up to receive notifications, follow these steps:
- Log into your TouchNetopen_in_new account.
- Navigate to the authorized user setup under “My Profile Setup.”
- Click the “Action” icon next to the name of your authorized user.

**Installment amounts are subject to change and will increase/decrease as new charges are added to accounts. Installments will NOT increase within 14 calendar days of any due date.
***All payments made towards student balances will apply to the oldest charges on accounts first. If you have a balance due on your student account prior to the payment plan term, that payment will apply toward the past-due balance first, and your installments for the current term will be recalculated. This includes any “Scheduled” payments on the payment plan.
