eConsent allows you to conduct business with Columbia College electronically.
eConsent is collected on the application for admission to Columbia College. Successful submission of the application records your response to eConsent.
You must provide eConsent in order to view financial aid, register for classes online and conduct other electronic transactions, such as email conversations regarding your bill or financial aid. It also gives Columbia College permission to exchange emails with you regarding individual information. When you consent to electronic transactions, they will be processed faster and more efficiently.
eConsent allows you to:
- Register for classes online.
- Check financial aid status through myPortal.
- Accept, decline or reduce financial aid award offers.
- Setup direct deposit for financial aid refunds.
- Receive email communications about your account through myPortal.
By consenting, you will also have full access to myPortal, which allows you to set up your CougarMail account. eConsent enables you to receive electronic notices about:
- Billing status and due dates.
- Upcoming deadlines regarding finances.
- Incomplete financial aid files.
- Financial aid disbursements and refunds.
If you choose not to accept eConsent, you will have limited access to services. All communications will be done via mail, phone or in-person. If you do not provide eConsent:
- You cannot register for classes online.
- You cannot access student account or financial aid information online, including making a payment.
