Third Party Billing

SPONSORED THIRD PARTY STUDENT BILLING

Sponsored students are those who are enrolled at UC San Diego, and require direct billing to an outside agency (public or private sector sponsor including: military agency, educational institution, and international embassy) for tuition and mandatory fees. 

Student Financial Solutions prepares and sends bills for tuition and mandatory fees, maintains agency and undergraduate/graduate student third-party accounts, and handles all correspondence regarding third-party agreements. 

Qualifying Third Party Agreements do not:

• Include payments made directly to a student, or reimbursements to a student.
• Place restrictions requiring course completion, grades, or transcripts prior to submitting payment.
