If you wish, you can grant your parents, guardians, or others the ability to access your academic and administrative information through a special "account" on the portal. You may create a separate user name for each individual and specify the level of access you authorize for him or her.

To protect your privacy, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act requires us to obtain your permission, before sharing your educational records.

To grant access, follow the steps below:

1. Visit Eagle Service - Financial Information
2. Sign in with your AU credentials.
3. Click on the Student Name and Icon.
4. Click on View/Add Proxy Access.
5. Select Person from the drop-down box and add a proxy. If the person you want is not listed, click on Add Another User and complete their information to add them to your proxy list.
6. Select the Permission for the proxy user. You can select to authorize your proxy to make a payment, view account summary, and/or view account activity.
7. Click Save, and then click the Submit button.
8. You can add multiple accounts for multiple different proxies.
   
   

When the person you authorized logs in to the myAU portal with the user name and password you created, they can access Eagle Service with only the access that you enabled for them. You can modify the access level at any time through Eagle Service.

You can also contact the OIT Help Desk to have the password reset or to have the account deleted. These accounts are yours to manage, and the Help Desk will only reset the passwords for you or the account holder.

AU's Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) tool allows users, with an expired or forgotten password or a locked account, to reset their own password without having to call the IT Help Desk. Users can authenticate using an alternate mechanism or factor, such as answering security questions or validating an SMS code, to access their account.

Steps to set up/update your Security Questions and Answers:
1.    Go to https://mypassword.global.american.edu/sspr/private/login
2.    Enter your AU username (without @american.edu) and password.
3.    Click Sign in.
4.    Click on “Please set up your Security Questions” and click “Clear Answers”.
5.    Follow the prompts to set up or reset the questions and answers.

Please note: If you need to reset your password and do not have the self-service password reset options set up, you can set them up through the https://mypassword.american.edu site after the Help Desk resets your password. Then, you will be able to use the self-service password reset tool to reset your password in the future.

Steps to reset an expired or forgotten portal password using the Self-Service Password Reset tool: 
1. Go to myau.american.edu and click the link "Reset an expired or forgotten password" below the Password box.
2. Provide your AU username (without @american.edu) and AU ID #.
3. Change your password following the guidelines provided.

End-user benefits include:

• Speed and efficiency: Rather than waiting on hold for a help desk analyst to unlock or reset their account, users are empowered to use self-service, with immediate results and confirmation of success.
• An introduction to automated help: Self-Service Password Reset is one of the first steps for many universities in implementing automation into their services. Unlike traditional password resets, SSPR eliminates the need for a phone call to the service desk and reduces the usual hold time to a mere few clicks of a button for the end user – introducing them to an automated and instantaneous self-help function. Many other service offerings are available via the OIT Self-Service Portal at https://help.american.edu.
• High availability and security: SSPR eliminates the need to talk to a service provider and is available 24/7 via desktop or mobile devices, which help users feel both in control and secure.

AU has partnered with GradGuard/Allianz Global Assistance to make tuition refund insurance available to you and your family.

• Tuition insurance acts as an extension of the University’s refund policy, reimbursing you for your tuition payment, housing and meal fees, and other nonrefundable expenses, if you withdraw for a covered reason at any time during the semester.
• Tuition insurance is optional, and you will pay the insurance provider directly for coverage.  The tuition insurance may be purchased each semester, up through the end of the second week of classes
• Learn more on GradGuard's site.

For an update on COVID 19 coverage, please visit https://gradguard.com/static/files/Tuition-COVID-19-Coverage-Alert.pdf

Please direct questions to AUCentral@american.edu.

What is Duo Mobile?

Duo Mobile is an app for your smartphone or tablet simplifies the process for authenticating to your AU account. Duo Mobile offers the most flexibility for authenticating to your AU account by providing users a one-tap prompt to respond to, or renewable security codes.

American University offers the following monthly payment plans for the fall and spring terms:

Health insurance is required for all full-time degree, resident, and international students with F1 and J1 visas.

The health insurance fee will be posted to your account once you register as a fulltime student; however, you can submit a Health Insurance Waiver, if you have comparable insurance coverage.

The waiver becomes available 48 hours after the health insurance fee is posted to your student account

Note: Opting out of health insurance is something that only the student can do for themselves.

If you want to opt out, you must submit a waiver request before September 9, 2025. (No waivers are possible after that date.) The earlier you request a waiver, the sooner the charge can be removed from your bill, so please try to do this before August if possible! The waiver request process will open on May 14 (you cannot submit a waiver until 48 hours after the health insurance charge has been posted to your bill)

To review a list of waiver requirements, please click here

Here are the steps:

1. Have an electronic copy of your current insurance card and your American University student ID.
2. Go to: https://american.myahpcare.com/waiver
