Third party billing is when a private or governmental agency is paying for any portion of your tuition, fees, or books AND they are requesting a bill from the University.

There is no standard contract. Some companies will write a letter stating what they are willing to pay. Others have a special form. Regardless of the format, however, all contracts and letters MUST include the following information in order to be processed:
  • Student's name
  • Student's Social Security number
  • Specific charges the company is willing to pay
  • Specific semester covered by the contract
  • Name and signature of officer authorizing the contract

Note: If the sponsor does not pay the University within 60 days of the billing date, the student will then be responsible for full payment of the balance due and will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester until all financial obligations have been paid.  Account balance must be cleared before students will be allowed to participate in future registrations, graduation or to receive transcripts. 

 

The student is responsible for any portion of tuition and fees not covered by the third party agency.

 

The University does not participate in employer reimbursement plans where the student is reimbursed tuition expenses from his/her employer.
