Financial Responsibility and Access for Others

Important Note About Tuition Bill Accounts
Each student enrolled at Manor College is assigned an online tuition bill account in their name via TouchNet. The student is responsible for all the charges and payments that occur on their account. In order to maintain compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), access to the online tuition bill account is restricted to the student only. (See ‘Family Access’ below for information on how others can view a student’s bill.)
Notes about the treatment of non-financial aid payments:
- Personal payments made by individuals (eg. parents, guardians, relatives, etc..) on behalf of the student are considered gifts to the student and any resulting overpayments (if applicable) will be issued to the student.
- Payments received on company/business checks will be treated as external scholarships or outside scholarships to the student
Family Access
Since some students rely on the help of their parent/guardian to pay their bill, it is important for students and parent(s)/guardian(s) to form an active partnership. In order to assist our students and facilitate this partnership, Manor has a FERPA Release Form that can be completed by the student.

○ Be sure to complete all areas of the form and sign it.
