Sponsored Billing
A third-party organization such as an employer, state or federal agency, or international organization may pay for a portion or all fees on a student鈥檚 account. The signed authorization/voucher must be submitted to SFS at least one week prior to the fee deadline.
A contractual agreement between the sponsoring agency and 糖心Vlog视频, or a prior arrangement with Student Financial Services, is required. Students then submit their signed authorization to SFS via mail or email.
Third Party billing is offered only for registration related charges. Contracts for charges such as room and board, books and admission applications will not be accepted at Student Financial Services.
Important Information
FERPA Release Authorizations: A student must add their third-party sponsor to their FERPA Release granting the University permission to release information about your student records to a third party. If the third-party is not listed, then we will not be able to invoice/receive payment, and the student will be responsible for the charges. For step-by-step instructions on how to add someone to the FERPA Release, go to our How-To page (link to page).
Billing: Third party invoices for tuition and fees are prepared after the add/drop period for the semester in order to limit changes that might impact the amount due for tuition and fees. Invoices are sent directly to the third-party payor. If the University is unable to collect from the funding agency within a reasonable amount of time, the student will become responsible for payment. The student will be notified by email when the funding agency has been mailed a final demand for payment.
Student Responsibilities: If a third-party does not pay some or all fees invoiced, it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to pay the outstanding balance to avoid class cancellation, or the withholding of services including registration for future semesters.
