When an organization has agreed to pay all or a portion of a student's tuition, books and/or fees and have the University bill them directly that is considered Third Party Billing.  Any student who is sponsored by a third party must submit a letter of authorization or tuition assistance voucher on the company or organization's letterhead. The amount authorized will be placed as a credit to the Student Account. Any portion not covered by a Third Party is the student's responsibility to pay by the semester due dates. The terms of the agreement are not based on grade received at the end of the semester. The authorization and/or voucher must include:

  • Student's name;
  • Identifying information (G number, last four digits of social security number, or birthday)
  • Semester covered;
  • Specific classes covered (or the amount or maximum dollar amount they will pay);
  • Address and phone number of the third party payer for billing purposes.
