How can my parent or other authorized user view my eBill?
Students sign into their eBill account through My Akron and set up their authorized user. A login name and password, assigned by the student, is used as security to view the eBill. The authorized user can also have an e-mail address added to their profile so that an email notification will be sent when a new eBill is generated. It is the student's responsibility to give the authorized user their login name and password (please keep in mind that the system is sensitive to the case (upper or lower) of each letter of the login name and password). The student also has the ability to cancel access at any time by signing into their eBill account and deactivating the authorized user's login.
