Description of guest access
Students have the ability to give guests听certain privileges within Minerva to听their account. These privileges may include:
- Viewing e-Bills and account summaries
- Viewing and printing tax receipts
- Accessing e-Payment services听
To grant someone guest access privileges, see the section on Granting access privileges below.
Students can revoke听individual privileges at any time.听 Once access has been granted, Student Accounts staff will respond to questions from听authorized guests regarding the specific information to which听they have been given听access.听
Students who听do not听want to grant access to a guest can听enter an "Alternate Student Billing" e-mail addresses that听will be used听to send copies of your monthly e-bill notification.
Students are advised not to share their PIN with anyone. Guest access allows information to be passed to a guest without giving away your PIN.
Granting access privileges
-
Log in to Minerva. Select 鈥楽tudent Menu鈥�, then 鈥楽tudent Accounts Menu鈥� and finally 鈥楪uest Access鈥�.
-
Complete the information about your guest. You will need to provide their name, their relationship to you, their email address, and a secret word that you provide. At this point, you will be able to select the privileges that you wish your guest to have.
-
You and your guest will receive an email containing the secret word that you have provided. Your guest will receive another email with a link to the Guest Set-up site on Minerva. They must use this link within 35 days of receiving it. Once your guest opens the link they will be asked to provide a few more pieces of information in order to set them up to use Minerva, such as their birthdate, their phone number and their address.
- If this person should happen to have a 麻豆区 email address, they will be matched with their existing 麻豆区 ID and be shown the login page to Minerva, using their already existing credentials.听Otherwise, a 麻豆区 ID will be generated and the instructions on how to login to Minerva will be provided by e-mail.听As an authorized guest, they will be able to see only the menus that you have assigned to them.
For more detailed instructions on how to login to Minerva for the first time, see the Minerva for guests website.听
Methods of Payment
Guests have access to the same methods of payments as students; the most popular option is online banking from a Canadian Financial Institution. It is important to note that you must use the student鈥檚 麻豆区 ID when making payments, and not your Guest ID. Information on our payment methods can be found here: Making a payment .
