Tuition and Billing Services

Third Party Billing

The Tuition & Billing Office is responsible for billing third parties for tuition and fee payments on the students’ behalf. Third parties may include U.S. or foreign government agencies, private corporations, branches of the U.S. armed forces, and other private industries.

A student is considered an eligible candidate for Third party Billing if the conditions below are met on a letter of authorization (sometimes called a purchase order, letter of intent, financial guarantee letter, financial support letter, letter of credit or no charge form).

Letter of Authorization

If the third party requires an invoice from the University, and is not military affiliated, the following documents must be submitted , no later than the drop/add deadline of each term.

·        Letter of Authorization

·        A W-9 for new third-party organization

BILLING AGREEMENT

Students who have a 3rd party billing sponsor must complete the Third Party/Agency Billing Agreement available here. This form will be automatically routed to sponsoredstudents@fau.edu. 

*Note: Once we have received the required documents, a contract promissory for the amount your sponsor has promised to pay will be applied to your account.

Any questions about the submission or process can be directed to Sponsoredstudents@fau.edu.

Payment of Fees and Fee Liability

If your third party sponsor fails to pay for the agreed upon tuition and fees, other than Chapter 31 or 33 Educational Benefit programs through the U.S. Military, you will be held responsible for payment, and may be assessed a late fee. The last date to pay fees is published in the Calendar for each term here.

Student Responsibility

It is the responsibility of the student to submit both the billing agreement and letter of authorization by the Drop/Add deadline of each term. It is the responsibility of the student to inform their sponsor of the courses taken, the amount of the tuition, and the types of financial aid they are receiving (if applicable).

The letter of authorization can be submitted online with the billing agreement, dropped off at the Tuition & Billing office, located at SU 80, Room 130, 777 Glades Rd., Boca Raton, FL. 33431, or emailed to sponsoredstudents@fau.edu.
