PARENT PORTALS - Are your parents paying for your education? If so, make sure they have access to see your account and pay online. If you haven’t already, give them permission to access your account through the “Information Releases” section of your portal. Then, they can set up a parent portal with their own username and password. The parent portal gives them access to your statement of account, without giving them access to your entire portal. Once you have given them access, send them their PLNU ID number (which will appear next to their name on your portal), and send them these instructions: PLNU Parent Portal Set Up Instructions
If they have any trouble creating their portal or paying online, please have them contact our office at 619.849.2538 or sfs@pointloma.edu.
