Billed Sponsored Aid
Invoiced or Billed Sponsored Aid is when a third party such as an employer, former employer, the military, non-profit organization or institution, or other organization agrees to pay some or all tuition and fees for five or more students and is notified by inovice or billed by the university when payment is due.
Sponsored Student Agreements
Organizations wanting to be invoiced or billed for tuition and fees must send a document (i.e. a letter of credit or voucher) listing the name and student ID (M#) of each student they intend to sponsor.聽This document should indicate in detail the amount to be paid and the specific tuition and fees they will cover. A document must be sent to the Cashier each term covering these details; and it can be sent by the sponsor or student. In order to receive an invoice for a student鈥檚 tuition and fees, organizations must sign a Sponsored Student Agreement. To be eligible for an agreement, organizations must be sponsoring at least 5 students for multiple, consecutive terms. 聽
If we do not have a Sponsored Student Agreement with an organization, credits will not be posted to the student鈥檚 account until payment is received from the sponsoring organization. Students should first check with their employer to see if they have a Sponsored Student Agreement with the Office of the Bursar before sending in vouchers or letters of credit. If there is not an agreement on file, students may need to send their sponsor further information, such as a copy of their term bill, regarding their account to have payment remitted by their organization.
Ohio organizations that pay 100% of an employee鈥檚 tuition and fees and agree to comply with聽Senate Bill 53聽requirements should complete the Sponsored Agreement for Senate Bill 53聽(contact the Cashier's for a copy).聽 Students covered by these agreements are charged in-state rates; likewise, the employers are billed in-state rates.
To ensure timely credit to a student鈥檚 account all documentation must be received at least one week before the beginning of the term.聽 Students are responsible for paying all tuition and fees not covered by the agreement by the due date or risk being assessed a late payment fee.聽
Late paperwork, documentation, or credit not received by the due date will result in the account being assessed a late payment fee.聽 Students should monitor their bills to be sure these payments are timely. If the payment is not received on time from the Sponsor the student should pay the bill by the due date to keep from receiving a late fee. Then, the student can be reimbursed by their employer or receive a refund if the employer subsequently pays the university.聽
Refunds due to the student after the application of the Sponsored Aid payments to student鈥檚 account will be processed within five days. To ensure that you receive your refund as soon as possible, please make sure that you are signed up for direct deposit in Catalyst. You can check this in the My Finances tile under Billing Information.
A聽Sponsored Student Agreement, as well as a purchase order, financial guarantee, or voucher is required from the sponsoring agency authorizing the university to bill the sponsor directly for the student鈥檚 expenses. The 美高梅官网 requires new sponsors to have at least 5 students enrolled for multiple, consecutive terms to set up a new agreement. Upon receiving the authorization from the sponsor, a sponsor credit will be applied to the student鈥檚 account. After the drop/add refund period, second week of the term, the Cashier will begin invoicing the sponsors.
