• Third Party Billing Reference Guide


  • Third Party Sponsor Billing Arrangements for payment by an organization must be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible for ensuring that a payment authorization is on file in the College’s Accounts Receivable department by the third week prior to the beginning of the term. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third party service fees.

    Beginning and ending term dates are as follows:

    • Summer 2022 - 6/27/2022 to 9/3/2022
    • Fall 2022 - 9/26/2022 to 12/17/2022
    • Winter 2023 - 1/9/2023 to 3/25/2023
