What is a billing authorization?

A billing authorization is a document in which a sponsor commits to pay designated educational expenses for you. The authorization from the sponsor specifies what they will pay, the period of coverage, and billing information.

Sponsors usually send the authorization to us directly, but some sponsors send the authorization to the student. Third Party Billing does not notify the student or sponsor when authorization expires at the end of the term(s) or effective date(s).

The sponsor and student are responsible to ensure that authorization is received before the first student bill due date to avoid late and installment/rebilling fees on sponsored charges.
