Welcome to the Bison Family!  We are excited to welcome your student to Howard University.  The University uses multiple systems to support your student's academic journey including BisonHub and ePay (TouchNet).  

BisonHub is the student's go-to resource for all their academic and financial information.  Students can view their academic history, register for classes, view tuition and fees, and update personal information.  

ePay (TouchNet) is the system where students (and friends and families) will make tuition and fees payments.

For friends and families to support their student, the student must givr permission and access to these systems.  The resources below show how these permissions can be set-up in BisonHub and ePay (TouchNet).

Required Steps for Students - ePay (TouchNet)

Students need to add an authorized payer in ePay (TouchNet) to grant access to friends and families to access billing information and make payments.  Students should access ePay by clicking on the "Make a Payment" link in the Financials Hub in BisonHub

A step-by-step guide for how to access an authorized payer in ePay will be added soon!
