SET UP AN AUTHORIZED USER

Students can designate an authorized user (parent, relative, guardian, etc.), who can view their account and make payments on their behalf via their student portal.  If a student designates an authorized user, the user will receive emails notifying him or her that new statements are available for viewing.

  1. Sign into Self Service at https://smcsc-ss.colleague.elluciancloud.com/.  Under “My Profile Setup” select “Authorized Users”.
  2. Select “Add Authorized User”. Provide the email address for your authorized user(s) and choose their level of access.
  3. Authorized Users will receive and email notification confirming their authorization and instructions on next steps.

PAYMENT PLAN

  • You must sign up for a new payment plan each semester. Plans will not roll from semester to semester.
  • Your account balance will be divided into monthly installment payments for the term. Credit cards or debit cards may be used. Other payment methods include electronic checks from checking/savings accounts.
  • Plan Payments for the Fall will post on the 20th of the month.
  • Payment plans are subject to recalculation if any changes are made to your student account.  For example, if you lose a financial aid award and/or an additional charge is placed on your account, your future payments will automatically be adjusted to include the increased balance.  The same holds true for the opposite – that is, if your financial aid awards are increased or there has been a reduction of charges, your future payment plan amounts will reduce accordingly.
