Setting Up an Authorized Payer or Proxy User

Important: New Payment Platform
DeSales University has made a change to its payment platform.
If you previously assigned an Authorized Payer, you will need to send them a new invitation through the new payment platform.
Authorized Payers should also delete any previously bookmarked payment links to avoid confusion.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we transition to the new platform.
Setting Up an Authorized Payer
Please note: Setting up an Authorized Payer for ePayments is a separate process from granting Parent Proxy access to grades or other student records.
Students can designate an Authorized Payer who can access the ePayment site separately from the student's account and make payments on the student's behalf.
Students: Send an Authorized Payer Invitation
1. Log in to MyDSU
Log in to MyDSU and select Self Service.
2. Access Student Finance
From Self Service, access your Finance Information.
3. Select "To Make a Payment"
Select To Make a Payment.
4. Send a Payer Invitation
From Self Service, go to:
Student Finance → Send Payer Invitation
Follow the prompts to enter the Authorized Payer's information and send the invitation.
Once invited, the Authorized Payer will be able to log in separately from the student's account and make payments on the student's behalf.
For Authorized Payers
Once the student has invited you to the new payment platform, check your email for an invitation.
Tip: If you do not see the invitation, check your spam or junk folder. The invitation will come from transactcampus.com.
To access your account:
- Click the link in the invitation email.
- Create a new password when prompted.
- Bookmark the new payment site for convenient access in the future.
- Keep your login credentials in a secure location.
Important: Do not use previously bookmarked payment links. The new platform requires you to use the link provided in your invitation.
Making a Guest Payment
Individuals who are not DeSales students or Authorized Payers can make a payment using the Guest Payment option.
The guest payer will need the student's:
- Student ID number
- Last name
Use the Guest Payment link to access the payment site:

Approving Proxy Access to Grades and Records
Parent Proxy access is separate from Authorized Payer access.
Students can use MyDSU Self Service to give an approved individual access to designated grades, records, or other student information.
Students: Grant Proxy Access
1. Log in to MyDSU
Log in to MyDSU and select Self Service.
2. Select User Options
From the left-hand menu, select User Options.
3. Select "View/Add Proxy Access"
Select View/Add Proxy Access.
4. Select an Approved Person
Review the important information displayed in blue.
Then, use the drop-down menu to select the person you would like to approve for proxy access.
5. Select the Information They Can Access
Select the areas of your account that you want the proxy to be able to access.
6. Authorize and Save
Check the Authorize box and select Save.
Your selected proxy will then have access to the information you have authorized. An email will be sent to them with instructions to complete the process.
