Why the Change?

Starting 12-8, to improve security and protect sensitive student information, SIUC has separated information access from payment access, as the payment access will now require multi-factor authentication (MFA). Students must now authorize users in two different systems to provide full access to their account details and payment options.

Understanding the Two Systems

Banner Proxy

Information Access

  • View billing statement
  • Discuss account with Bursar staff
  • Access IRS 1098-T Tax Forms
  • View account detail
  • View specific charge details
  • CANNOT make online payments
Go to SalukiNet (Proxy)

Nelnet Authorized Payer

Payment Access

  • View real-time account balances
  • Make online payments
  • Set up monthly payment plans
  • CANNOT discuss account with University offices including Bursar
  • CANNOT view account detail or billing statements
Nelnet Access
