*This plan should only be used if you are going to spread payments out for the total balance owed for the year, not just the fall term amount being billed. If you need help determining how much you should set up, we can help.
Example: Scotty owes $6,000 for the Fall Term on the bill and plans to use a payment plan to cover his remaining costs. He should estimate winter costs to be similar to fall and set up the plan for $12,000.

Proxy Access
We’re excited to introduce a new feature to student accounts: Proxy Access. This addition gives students the opportunity to allow access to financial account information to a parent or guardian of their choosing.
Assign a Proxy
A student (and only a student) at Alma College can select the individual(s) as his/her proxy to view a student’s statement of accounts and/or make a payment on his/her behalf. Already signed up? Log on here.
Student Privacy under FERPA
This designation does not take the place of the protections afforded to the student under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Release of a student’s educational record is still not allowed without the student’s written consent, including to parents, family members and designated proxies. Therefore, Alma College will be unable to answer any questions about the information made available to a proxy without said written consent. The student can complete Consent for Disclosure form online to provide outside parties additional access to his/her educational records.
