An authorized payer is someone a student permits to make an online payment to their account on their behalf.

Authorized payers (parent, spouse, etc.) may be granted access to student accounts only for the purpose of paying a bill. Students may also complete an Information Release Form to allow Student Financial Services to discuss a student's financial aid status or tuition and billing information with a third party. This form is solely for the use of Student Financial Services.

More About Information Releases

  • Passwords cannot be the student's date of birth, any part of their student ID number, their social security number or their MyGCC password.
  • If any party cannot verify their identity by providing the assigned password, we will not release information specific to the student’s account.
  • Forgotten passwords can be reviewed on the release form in your MyGCC account.
  • The information release form needs to be completed only once for each individual to whom you are granting access.
  • Any inquiring third party must provide their name, the student's name, student ID and assigned password before GCC can release information.
  • Authorization can be withdrawn.
  • Students who choose not to authorize the disclosure of account information to anyone other than themselves do not need to complete the waiver.
