View My Bill
Paper bills are not mailed to enrolled students. Instead, enrolled students are notified via official University email that your billing statement has been updated and is available to view on CougarNet.
It is important to view your bill frequently for changes to your account. Even after your account is paid in full, charges can still be added or removed from your account.
How to authorize a parent or third party
Students follow the steps below:
- Go to siue.edu/pay-my-bill and select Student Login.
- Enter your e-ID and password.
- Select My Account.
- Under Payers, choose "Send a payer invitation".
- Enter your payer's information. A temporary password will be created for them.
- Add a personal note to be included in the welcome email sent to your third party (Optional).
- Select 'Yes' to allow your third party to view and make a payment on your account.
Parents and third parties follow the steps below:
- Read your email message which will contain your user name, temporary password and a link to siue.edu/pay-my-bill. You may choose to save this link to your browser's 'Favorites'.
- After logging in the first time, you will be prompted to change your password.
- Use the menu to view your student's account or to make a payment.
- Parents and other third parties with multiple students attending SIUE will have a different user name for each student.
If a third party forgets their password, contact your student and ask them to reset your password. Students re-set a third party password by logging into siue.edu/pay-my-bill and selecting 'Edit' and 'Reset Password' for the third party user name. A temporary password will be emailed to the third party's email address.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Privacy Act protects student education records such as academic progress and financial data. Students 'own' their education records and data may not be disclosed to others without the student's consent. This includes parents.
What are the ways students can give consent for a third party to access their Bursar billing information?
1. Authorize a third party for eBilling. Granting this will give the third party the ability to view the student's account information on CougarNet. The student will need their SIUE e-ID and password, go to siue.edu/pay-my-bill and select 'Student Login'. After logging in go to the Parent Pin section and follow the steps listed here.
2. Authorization to Release Information form. To authorize various SIUE offices to speak with a Parent or Third Party regarding your personal information via in person, phone or email, then there must be an Authorization to Release Information on file. This authorization must be completed by you. You can choose which office is allowed to release your information by setting up a security password that your parent or third party will need to provide to an SIUE representative to confirm their identity. This password may be one that your parent chooses. To activate your authorized parent or third parties, please logon to Cougarnet and select Student > Student Account > Authorization to Release Information.
