Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Student Account Center do?
The Student Account Center is an online student financial system designed to help students better manage their tuition bills, payment plans, and refunds at DBU.
How is this different from what I've used before?
The Student Account Center contains several options that can be managed completely online. Some features include online payment plans, refund check direct deposit, and electronic student account statements. You will also be able to view guaranteed financial aid on your account.
What if my financial aid is incorrect on my account?
If the amount of financial aid displayed on your account is incorrect, you may call the DBU Financial Aid Office for more information. Your estimated financial aid must either be accepted or guaranteed by the Financial Aid Office to display in your account center. To ensure that this gets done in a timely manner, please fill out the DBU Supplemental Application for Financial Aid and turn it into the Financial Aid Office at the proper time.
Where is the Student Account Center located?
Each student and authorized user will be able to access the Student Account Center through the MyDBU portal. Students will click on the “TouchNet” tile and be directed to their tuition account. Authorized users will click the “Authorized User Access” like under the Financial Information section and be directly taken to the Student Account Center.
What if my parent/guardian/employer pays for my education? How can they get access to my account?
The account center offers the ability for students to authorize access to a user/parent to view their student account. To grant your parent access, you will need to log into the Student Account Center through your MyDBU account. You will then find this option under the “Authorized Users” tab. To authorize your parent, enter their email address and they will be emailed personal login information. Authorized users will be able to log in to their individual account profile at Authorized User Pay. Once they log in, they will then have access to pay on or view your student account.
How do you remove parent/authorized user access?
If at any time you need to remove authorized user access, you can do so through the “Authorized Users” tab. Under the “Current Authorized Users” section you will see the authorized users who currently have access to your account. To remove them from accessing your account, simply click the “Delete” option and confirm their access removal. You can always give them access again at any point in time.
How do I make a payment?
Throughout the account center, you will see several “Make A Payment” options that will direct you on how to pay your bill. Click on any of these options and choose a payment method to make a payment and you will be directed through the payment process.
Can I save my payment methods for future use?
Yes, under the “My Profiles” tab you will have the option to edit, add, and save your payment methods. Also, if you use a new payment method to make a payment, you will have the option to save that method during the payment process. You can also schedule payments to automatically occur on a certain date.
Can anyone else access my student account?
Only students and parents who have been granted access will be able to access the Student Account Center.
Is the Student Account Center secure?
Yes, the Student Account Center is remotely managed by an online financial software company called TouchNet.

The information located in your online student account center is 100% protected and secured by an HTTPS encrypted server.
