Students should encourage their parents to activate their access to the Parent Portal and TouchNet Bill+Payment when they receive their login credentials. If your parent or authorized user does not wish to activate their access and/or does not have access to e-mail it will be your responsibility to share grade information and ensure that bills are forwarded to them so that the appropriate payment arrangements can be made.
3. Watch Your E-Mail for Communications from STAR
The student’s 51С»Æ³µ e-mail is the official notification for the e-bill. Students will receive an e-mail when new information, such as a billing statement, is available for them to view in TouchNet Bill+Payment. Parents and other authorized users will be copied on this e-mail.
Students should regularly check their e-mail accounts for bill notification and notices regarding missing documents and financial holds. Students and authorized users should check their spam filters and mailbox limits to ensure they can always accept e-mail from the College.
Students are responsible for payment by the due date, even if e-mail notifications are not received. Even without e-mail notification, students can view bills and current account balances and track account activity through Touchnet Bill+Payment, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
