What is the Cal U parent/guest portal?

Your student may use the Cal U Parent/Guest Portal to grant permission for a parent or guest to access this protected information and make payments to the student's California University account. The Parent/Guest Portal is the only avenue for a California University of Pennsylvania student to grant third-party access to his/her records.

How do I contact the CALU family portal?

Further questions about the portal may be directed to family@calu.edu or 724-938-4361.

Can a parent or guest make payments through the parent/guest portal?

The student also may give permission for a parent or guest to make payments through this portal. In addition, Cal U students can use the Parent/Guest Portal to establish a FERPA passphrase, which the parent or guest must use to confirm his/her identity when calling a University office regarding the student's records.

How do parents and guests get access to the student account suite?

A parent or guest's username and pin for the portal does not automatically grant access to the Student Account Suite. Parents and guests must complete a separate registration process once they are added as an "authorized user" by their student in the billing section of VIP.
