AUTHORIZED USERS
Students may add Authorized Users to their MyUH account. An Authorized User is a person, like a parent or guardian, who the student authorizes to make payments on their behalf. Students should NOT GRANT ACCESS TO EMPLOYERS, SPONSORS, OR 3rd PARTY PAYERS USING THIS ONLINE METHOD. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, student financial records may not be shared without their written consent. Adding an Authorized User on MyUH is written consent that an individual may view a student's account information and make payments on the student's behalf. Authorized Users DO NOT have access to the student's stored payment methods, academic records or other personal information. For details see the MyUH payment tutorial.
RETURNED CHECKS OR UNPROCESSED eCHECKS
Payments tendered to the University of Hawaii or any department therein, and returned from the maker's bank for any reason (e.g., insufficient funds, closed bank account, incorrect bank information) will result in a $25.00 charge and a hold will be placed on your account. DO NOT place a STOP PAYMENT on checks. A stop payment on a check is considered a returned check and is not acknowledged as an official drop from courses or withdrawal from the University.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Students who have not met their financial obligations (traffic fines, library fines, locker fees, lab breakage charges, transcript fees, loans, rental contracts, etc.) to the satisfaction of the University of Hawaii may be denied a variety of enrollment services including registration, withdrawal, and transcripts.
Enrollment at the University of Hawaii signifies consent to, and acceptance of all policies and procedures governing enrollment, including financial liability. Students who fail to remit payment when due, agree to pay University of Hawaii all reasonable costs for collection, to include collection agency, attorney's and court fees.
Copies of the delinquent financial obligations policy and procedures are available for inspection at the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Students and the UH Cashier's Office.

If the third party sponsoring agency does not make payment for your tuition for any reason after being billed by the University, you will be responsible for paying any unpaid balances on your student account. Failure to do so will result in sanctions for outstanding financial obligations being imposed on your student account.
