By way of our billing resource, TouchNet, a student attending the university is able to enable access to his/her account for a parent, guardian, spouse or other third party.

This 3rd party access is also called the Seton Hall University Student Account Suite and allows authorized individuals the following:

  • view and pay bill

  • receive eStatements

  • set up payment plans

  • receive Bursar notifications about account
