Third-Party Payment Policy at the Â鶹APP
Many students have charges partially or fully covered by employers, government agencies, the military, or other external sponsors. The following outlines the University’s third-party payment policies:
- Authorization Requirements:
- The University only accepts unconditional payment authorizations (not contingent on grades, GPA, or other factors).
- Authorizations must be submitted at registration and specify covered charges and amounts for the term.
- Student Responsibility:
- Students must arrange payment for charges not covered by the sponsor at registration.
- Students are responsible for any costs not paid by the sponsor.
- If the sponsor declines payment, the payment is the responsibility of the student.
- Billing Process:
- Sponsored tuition, fees, and book charges are transferred from the student’s account to a sponsor’s billing account.
- A Third Party Authorization Form clarifies billing rules, such as:
- Payment amount(s) for tuition, fees, and books.
- Coverage of balances after federal aid is applied.
- Specific conditions for payment after applying grants and scholarships.
- Form Submission:
- The completed authorization form, signed by the sponsor, should be submitted to Student Accounts at least two weeks before the term starts.
- If submitted after the term starts, expect delays in the transfer of balances and issuance of bills.
- The completed authorization form, signed by the sponsor, should be submitted to Student Accounts at least two weeks before the term starts.
- Additional Notes:
- Registration and financial aid adjustments can affect account balances; the authorization must reflect the sponsor’s intent and any expected pre-payments.
- Late submission or unresolved balances may incur late fees.
- Students must report all outside resources (i.e. waivers, scholarships, or other assistance) to avoid potential repayment of financial aid.
- Book Purchases
