Third Party Billing

Third-party billing is a billing method by which an entity (company, corporation, or other government agency) can establish special billing arrangements to cover tuition and mandatory fees for students that it sponsors. This entity receives and makes payment against special bills mailed directly to a third-party office, and does not remit payment directly to a student's university-generated bill.  The sponsor must submit a letter of authorization to the Business Office and the student must complete the TAMUT third party agreement contract. Email business.office@tamut.edu for a third party contract. Contracts MUST be completed each academic year.
