Late Payments
Third Party invoices are due within 30 days of issuance. If timely payment is not received, a second invoice is generated. If the invoice remains unpaid, the charges that are not paid by the sponsor will be placed on the student account and the student(s) will be billed electronically in the next student billing cycle. Students are ultimately responsible for the full cost of their educational expenses if their sponsor does not pay.
Non-Payment
Third Party invoice terms are Net 30. In most cases, a second invoice will be generated if payment has not been received. At that time communication is made to the Third Party Sponsor to actively pursue collecting payments for outstanding invoices.
Also during that time, Third Party Sponsors may send proof of payment for further research. Communication will continue until a resolution date has been exhausted.
- The Third Party Deferral credit is reversed once the collection efforts have been made. The student is notified of this reversal via email, with payment instructions.
- If the invoice remains unpaid, the charges that are not paid by the sponsor will be placed on the student account and the student(s) will be billed electronically in the next student billing cycle. Students are ultimately responsible for the full cost of their educational expenses if their sponsor does not pay.
