A third-party sponsor agreement or authorization letter of services (see below) must be received prior to registering for classes and no later than the census date (the end of the add/drop period).

Please note that if your sponsor does not pay some or all your tuition and fees, it will be your responsibility to pay for the outstanding balance, and a financial hold may be placed on your account.

The third-party authorization letter must include:

• Student's full name
• Campus Identification Number (CIN)
• The period covered.
• The maximum amount of coverage.
• The types of tuition and fees covered and/or not covered.
• Sponsor's billing address.
