Authorized Payors
What is an Authorized Payor?
An Authorized Payor is a parent or other individual who might make a payment on a student account that a student sets up for access to the UNL E-Payment System. An Authorized Payor can make payment electronically from a regular checking or savings US bank account. They can also make payment by debit or credit card (convenience fee applies). Students can set up multiple Authorized Payors for access to the payment website.
Authorized Payors can view their payment activity and saved payment accounts. Authorized Payors cannot view MyRED using the UNL E-Payment System login, and they cannot view other Authorized Payors’ or the student’s saved payment accounts.
What is NOT an Authorized Payor?
- A Third Party such as a business, embassy, government agency, etc. which gives UNL Student Accounts permission to bill them directly for all or a portion of a student’s charges. Do not set up as an Authorized Payor; go to https://studentaccounts.unl.edu/payment-credits-refunds#third-party
A UNL Department sponsoring a student for all or a portion of a student’s charges.
Do not set up an Authorized Payor; go to https://studentaccounts.unl.edu/forms#agree-to-fund
How does a student reset an Authorized Payor’s password?
Log in to MyRED. Select the blue 'Pay Bill' link to go to the UNL E-Payment System overview page. Click on the profile page by selecting 'My Account' in the left menu. Choose the 'Edit' icon next to the name in the Payers section. Click 'Resend payer invitation'.
An email is sent to alert the Authorized Payor the password has changed and notify them of a new temporary password to access the account. PLEASE NOTE: Any saved ‘Payment Methods’ are not retained if your password is changed or reset.
How does a student cancel an Authorized Payor’s access?
Log in to MyRED. Select the blue 'Pay Bill' link to go to the UNL E-Payment System overview page. Click on the profile page by selecting 'My Account' in the left menu. Choose the 'Edit' icon next to the name in the Payers section. Click 'Remove payer'.
How does a parent or other user (who is set up as an Authorized Payor) change their password?
If they remember their password, log in to the UNL E-Payment System. Click on the profile page by 'My Account' in the left menu. Click the 'Edit' icon next to the Password field in section Basic information. Click 'Save' to commit the change.
If they do not remember their password, go to the UNL E-Payment System. Click 'Forgot Password'. Enter your email address and click 'Continue'.
PLEASE NOTE: Any saved ‘Payment Methods’ are not retained if your password is changed or reset.
What if my student set me up as an Authorized Payor but I didn’t get an email?
Ways to research the problem:
- Did the email go to your 'junk' mail? If so, make 'bursar@unl.edu' a trusted or safe sender.
- Are you using a work email which may block our email? If so, have your student change the email address to a personal one.
- Have your student log in to MyRED. Select the blue 'Pay Bill' link to go to the UNL E-Payment System overview page. Click on the profile page by selecting 'My Account' in the left menu. In the Payers section:
- Verify the email address listed for the Authorized Payor is correct. Choose the 'Edit' icon next to the Payer's name and review the email address on the account. If needed, correct it.
- Verify the guest is listed in the Payers section. If not, the guest is not set up as expected. Possibly there was an error such as the Authorized Payor email already existing in the UNL E-Payment System. A different email address must be used for each Authorized Payor.
The student can set you up with a new Authorized Payor account or reset your password if necessary.
