Setting Up Authorized Users in IBOD

Authorized users are persons granted permission by the student to access student information stored in IBOD. Additionally, the Business Office accepts authorization as the written permission required by FERPA to speak to persons other than student about the student’s account.

Authorized users have the ability to make online payments and set up payment plans on behalf of the student.

Step by Step Instructions

1. The student logs in to IBOD. Only the student has the ability to set up an authorized user for his/her account.
2. Select the “Authorized User” tab
3. Enter the e-mail address to be used for sending notifications to the authorized user. A valid e-mail address is required to set up an authorized user.
4. The student has a choice what information the authorized user will be able to see. Select the appropriate radio buttons.
5. Select “Add User” and the process is complete.
6. The authorized user will receive an e-mail with login information and a password.

 Please note that although it is a poor idea for security reasons, students will sometimes give their personal login information to a parent so that s/he can view student information. Please know that this does not establish the parent as an authorized user.
