Authorize Someone to Make a Payment on Your Behalf

A person other than the student may have the ability to make a payment, view account activity and view student statement as a Third-Party User. Students may follow these steps to create a Third-Party user in Workday.

Login to Workday
Select Profile Icon (upper right corner)
Select View Profile
Select Contacts
Select Friends and Family and Click Add
Complete required fields and check box for Third Party User
After enter information, click Done and return to Contacts screen
Scroll over to Actions and click Manage Permissions
Grant individual permissions-check the tasks granting permission
The parent/third party receives login instructions at the email provided by the student.

Once a Third-Party User account is created, students can remove access at any time and resend payer invitations. No University of Akron staff can make changes to the Third-Party User account or reset their password.

Cancellation For Non-Payment

The University reserves the right to cancel enrollment when payment arrangements are not in place or when a past-due balance remains unpaid. Students whose classes are canceled for nonpayment will have a registration hold placed on their account, which will remain until the balance is paid in full. To avoid cancellation and registration holds, students must pay their balance in full or establish approved payment arrangements by the published semester due date. Students with unpaid balances or delinquent payment plan installments may be unable to register for future terms until their account is brought current.

Once classes have been canceled, because course availability and waitlists change frequently, re-enrollment in the same classes is not guaranteed after payment is made. Students and authorized users should regularly review account balances and ensure payments are made by published due dates to avoid cancellation. If your enrollment has already been canceled, you may be required to provide proof of payment to be considered for re-enrollment in the current term.

Important: Do not assume that nonpayment will automatically cancel your classes or housing contract. If you decide not to attend The University of Akron, you must drop your classes promptly. Failure to do so may result in financial responsibility for all tuition and fees. Learn how to drop classes

Returned Checks and ACH Payments

If your check or ACH (electronic transfer) payment is returned for any of the following reasons—Non‑Sufficient Funds (NSF), Account Closed, Altered/Fictitious, or Stop Payment—a $25 returned‑check penalty will be added to your account. The outstanding balance will also become due immediately.

On the third returned payment, a hold will be placed on your account to prevent any additional payments from being made by check.
