How does Authorized Payer work for parents with multiple students at Penn State?

If you have more than one student at Penn State, regardless of campus, you can easily link your students' accounts. However, each student will need to create a separate Payer Invitation for you, and you will receive separate temporary passwords for each student.

To link the student accounts, follow the steps below:

1. Visit public.lionpath.psu.edu and click on the Authorized Payer Access tab.
2. Use your Authorized Payer user ID and password you received via email. You must use the correct User ID and password when accessing each student’s account and you must log in at least once to each account to be able to link the students’ accounts. Once the student accounts are linked you only need to log in to one of the student accounts.
3. Navigate to the My Account section on the left side menu of the Student Account Dashboard.
4. To use Authorized Payer access for multiple students, click on the pencil icon next to the student’s name on the Overview section on the left side menu. 
5. The student’s page displays the name of the student you are currently viewing. If another student has given you access to view their account, and you have logged in at least once to that student’s account, you will see that student’s account listed as other students (click the View box to switch to the other student account).
