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

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.

If you decide not to attend The University of Akron, it is your responsibility to drop your classes promptly. Failing to do so may result in being held financially responsible for tuition and fees. Learn how to drop classes

The University reserves the right to cancel your enrollment if payment arrangements are not in place.

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.

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.
