2-Step Verification

2-step is required to access Student Financials – Pay My Bill.

• Starting February 15, 2018, 2-Step will add another layer of security to access Student Financial – Pay My Bill  information, including direct deposit accounts for student refunds.
• We understand that some students share their Onyen and passwords with their parents, but with 2-Step, parents won’t be able to get in unless they have access to their student’s mobile phone. Students need to set their parents up as a Proxy/Authorized User so that they aren’t required to use 2-Step.

Note: Currently, alumni are not required to use 2-Step to access their financial information.

IMPORTANT: Any time your bank account is changed you will receive an email confirmation from cashier@unc.edu. If you receive an email and you did not request an account change, please call 962-HELP immediately and request a critical ticket.

Bill Payment Due on March 13: Do your parents pay your bills? They must be set up as Proxy/Authorized Users to access Student Financials.  As Proxy/Authorized Users they will not need 2-Step. Keep in mind that they will not be able to use your Onyen credentials.

• Your tax year 2017 W-2 is available from the self-service menu on the ConnectCarolina home page. Remember that you’ll need to register for and then use 2-Step verification to access your online W-2. The registration process only happens once, but you’ll need to use 2-Step Verification every time you need to access your W-2 online.
• An advantage of accessing your W-2 form online is that you can print and use it sooner than the paper version issued in late January by Payroll Services.
• Paper W-2s are still available through Payroll and will continue to be for 2017. Important: Opting into 2-Step Verification does not opt you out of a paper copy.

FAQ

• Do I have to have a smartphone to verify my identity?
   No, you can use any cell phone, a tablet, or even a landline phone.
• Do I have to install anything to start verifying
  We recommend that you use an app on your smartphone or tablet to verify, but you don’t have to. You can also verify using a text message or phone call.
• I've been locked out--what do I do?
  If you try to verify three times and are not successful, you will need to contact 919-962-HELP to have your account unlocked so you can try again.
• I'm set up to verify using my smartphone, but I left my phone at home today. What do I do?
  If you need to verify often, we recommend that you set up more than one device. You can set up a landline phone or a tablet in addition to your mobile phone. That way, if you forget one device, you still have a way to verify. If you didn’t register more than one device, you need to contact 919-962-HELP(4357) for a temporary passcode.
• I no longer have the phone that I set up to verify with. What do I do?
   You can remove all devices ( on the DuoSecurity Self-Registration screen; ITS employees (and some other groups) do not see this screen) when you login to Register & Manage 2-Step Verification and then you can register another device.

For more FAQs and to troubleshoot complex issues, ITS has extensive documentation on 2-step.
