Supporting Your Student: Essential Pace Systems for Parents and Families

Welcome to the Pace Community! As the parent or family member of a new Pace University student, you play an important role in helping them succeed. We know this is an exciting time—and sometimes an overwhelming one. That’s why we want to make sure you know about the key systems and services Pace offers to keep you informed, connected, and empowered to support your student from day one.

Below, you’ll find the essential tools you need to register for, bookmark, and use so you can stay on top of important forms, financial information, and campus updates.

FERPA: Accessing Your Student’s Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects your student’s educational privacy. Under FERPA, your student must give Pace University written authorization before the University can share details of their academic or financial records with you.

To stay involved in your student’s academic journey, be sure they complete the required FERPA form early on. This authorization allows you to communicate directly with University personnel about important matters.

Learn more about FERPA and how it affects your access.

TouchNet: Managing Payments

TouchNet is Pace’s secure online payment system. It gives you and your student real-time access to account details, transaction histories, payment plan options, and more.

To use TouchNet, your student must authorize you as a user. Once you have access, you can log in as an authorized user to:

• View the student account balance
• Make payments (via electronic check, credit card, or international payment)
• Enroll in a payment plan

Here are your key links:

• Student Log-In (for students)
• Authorized User Log-In (for parents and family)

Next Gen Dynamic Forms

• Next Gen Dynamic Forms is the electronic system your student will use to complete and sign critical University documents.
• Here’s what you need to know: when your student initiates a form that requires your signature or input, they will provide your email address. You’ll then receive an email with a unique link to complete your part. You can also proactively create your own account by clicking “Create New Account” in the Pace Forms Dashboard.
• With your account, you can log in to check the status of any forms, review pending tasks, and download signed documents for your records.

CampusESP: Your Family Portal

CampusESP is your dedicated parent and family portal. It’s a one-stop resource designed to help you stay informed about important campus news, deadlines, and updates on your student’s academic progress and financial details.
