MyBill Account Access & Information

  • What's an authorized user?
  • An authorized user is a person that the student has allowed access to their account. The authorized user is able to discuss financial information in the student account with our office. Without this authorization, our office won't be able to discuss any account details.
  • I am a student and I  am attempting to login to MyBill using my email address and password, but I'm unable to get in. 
  • As a student, you should be logging in under the “Students and Staff” link which will re-direct you to a page where you will enter your Kerberos Login ID and Passphrase.  If you cannot remember these, please contact IT Services for assistance at: 530-754-HELP (4357).
  • I am a parent and I'm having trouble signing myself up to pay my student's bill. How do I sign up and pay? 
  • The student will need to log into MyBill and click the authorized user tab to enter any third party and provide them access to their MyBill account. Any authorized user will have their own log-in email and password. The third party password is set by the authorized user once they receive the notification that they have been added to the account. Please keep in mind the authorized users and the student use different logins. Be sure to use the appropriate link to log in. 
  • I'm not an authorized user on the account, but I'm responsible for paying my student's bill. Why can't you discuss my student's account with me? 
  • Due Federal Laws and Regulations, we are unable to disclose student information if the student is over 18 years old and has not provided the authorization.  For more information about Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).  To become an authorized user, please have your student grant you access on MyBill.
  • How can parents, family members, or any other third party payments get access to my account? 
  • Students can provide permission to others (parents, employers, etc.) to view their bill and make payments. More than one user can be added on each student’s account. A student must log in to Mybill using their student ID and Kerberos Passphrase, click the authorized user tab and enter the e-mail address of the person being authorized. The authorized user will then receive an e-mail notification that they have been added and will prompt them to update their profile. This authorization is separate from the Financial Aid third party authorization.
  • Who can add an authorized user to MyBill? 
  • Only students can add and/or delete any Authorized Users to their account on MyBill.
  • Where does a student obtain their password for MyBill?
  • Students need to use their UC Davis Kerberos ID and Passphrase to login into MyBill. If you need assistance retrieving or requesting a new passphrase, please contact UC Davis Computing Account Services Help Desk at 530-754-HELP (4357) or visit their website and select “Change your passphrase”. Students shouldn’t use the “Forgot Your Password” link in MyBill as that is for authorized users only.
  • Why do I need to provide my student ID every time I contact Student Accounting? 
  • In order to verify we are talking to the correct student and to protect the student information we must obtain this information.  To comply with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations we must verify that you are indeed the person who is calling.  Once we have verified that we are talking to the correct student or authorized user, we are then able to view your account and answer any questions you may have.

To ensure your payment is processed timely, we recommend you verify your MyBill account before our established due date to confirm we have received your payment. If your payment is not received by the established due date your student may be dropped for non-payment.
