3rd
Party/Sponsor Billing
The student receives a billing
statement and
account information card from the University. With the
first bill for the fall, spring and summer semesters, the
student receives an account information card which is used to
notify the University of any third party sponsorship.
It is the student's
responsibility to obtain authorization from the third party
sponsor (purchase order/authorization form) which indicates how
much the third party sponsor will be paying on the bill.
The student completes the
account information card by notating on the bottom:
(1) amount due from the bill
(current balance due)
(2) amount of sources (i.e. how much will be paid by the third
party)
(3) payment enclosed (for any balance not covered by the third
party).
The student mails the account
information card, authorization form, copy of the statement and
payment (if any due) to the University by the payment due date.
If these items are received by the payment due date shown on the
statement, no late fee will be assessed.
For questions on third party
sponsorship billing, please call the Bursar's Office @ (207)
581-1530.
