Illinois Institute of Technology welcomes your participation in our third-party billing process. Sponsors are outside parties, such as embassies, companies, and community agencies, who pay Illinois Institute of Technology directly for a student’s educational expenses with funds that did not originate with the student.
Students whose tuition and fees are paid by another source need to submit a Letter of Intent, Voucher, Proof of Sponsorship, etc. from their sponsoring agency. Upon receipt of adequate billing documentation, the Bursar’s Office will directly bill the company/sponsoring agency for the tuition/fees/housing as directed. Adequate billing documentation must:
- Be written in English on the sponsor's official stationery
- Request the University to bill the sponsor for the student’s charges
- Identify the student by full name (given name first followed by family name) and CWID if available
- Clearly state the type and percentage of charges the sponsor will pay
- Include a billing address
- Stipulate the exact begin and end dates of the period during which the sponsor will pay the student’s charges (if the sponsor wishes to continue payment after the end date it must submit a new authorization letter)
- Contain no restrictions or contingencies (if, for example, the sponsor requires grades or transcripts prior to payment, the student must pay the original bill then seek reimbursement from the sponsoring organization)
- Be signed by an authorized official of the sponsoring organization
We will begin processing contracts after the add/drop date of each semester. Any late submissions will be processed within 48 hours of receipt.
Any changes in eligibility for a sponsored student should be communicated to the Bursar’s Office immediately. Students that become ineligible or have a reduction in their sponsored amount will owe this amount immediately and a hold should be placed on their account. A revised invoice will be sent to the company/sponsoring agency to reflect the adjustment in sponsoring eligibility.
Students that fail to submit required sponsorship documentation to the Bursar’s Office in a timely manner will be held responsible for any penalty fees assessed to their accounts.
If you have any questions on whether or not we can directly bill your sponsor for your tuition and fees, please contact the Bursar's Office at bursar@iit.edu.All documents can be submitted by email to bursar@iit.edu, by fax or by mail.
