Description of guest access

Students have the ability to give guestsÌýcertain privileges within Minerva toÌýtheir account. These privileges may include:

  • Viewing e-Bills and account summaries
  • Viewing and printing tax receipts
  • Accessing e-Payment servicesÌý

To grant someone guest access privileges, see the section on Granting access privileges below.

Students can revokeÌýindividual privileges at any time.Ìý Once access has been granted, Student Accounts staff will respond to questions fromÌýauthorized guests regarding the specific information to whichÌýthey have been givenÌýaccess.Ìý

Students whoÌýdo notÌýwant to grant access to a guest canÌýenter an "Alternate Student Billing" e-mail addresses thatÌýwill be usedÌýto 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

  1. Log in to Minerva. Select ‘Student Menu’, then ‘Student Accounts Menu’ and finally ‘Guest Access’.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. If this person should happen to have a ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ email address, they will be matched with their existing ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ ID and be shown the login page to Minerva, using their already existing credentials.ÌýOtherwise, a ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ ID will be generated and the instructions on how to login to Minerva will be provided by e-mail.ÌýAs 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.Ìý

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’s ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ ID when making payments, and not your Guest ID. Information on our payment methods can be found here: Making a payment .
