Parent Specific FAQS

how do i help my student?

The first thing a parent should do is have their student fill out the online FERPA Release Form. Without this form on file, parents will not be able to access any of their student’s information.

  • Have your student log into their my.bushnell account, go to the “Student” tab at the top of the page, then select the “FERPA” section on the left-hand side, then select “Dene New Permissions.” By completing this form, a student can give someone access to things like financial aid information, billing information, and more. All payment plans have a $50 enrollment fee and are interest free if payments are made on time.
  • If your student gives you permission to view financial information, our IT department will contact you to set up your own login to the my.bushnell portal. Once you have a login you will be able to make payments online and view your student’s account balance.
