Sponsored Billing is when a Student’s tuition, fees, or books will be paid by a Company, State Agency, US Military or other party. The Sponsor must agree to make full payment regardless of student's grades or course completion. Written authorization from Sponsor must be on file in the Financial Services office prior to the student registering for classes.
Examples of Sponsored Billing:
Note: Employer Tuition Reimbursement is not Sponsored Billing.
The authorization should include the following:
- Sponsor’s Name
- Billing address
- Telephone No.
- Student’s Name
- Macomb Student ID or SSN
- Term to be covered
- Types of charges to be covered, tuition, fees, books and supplies and the dollar amount if applicable
- If your authorization is for specific courses please also include the 8-digit course number which follows the course name, i.e., ACCT-1080.
Bookstore Purchases
An interface allows the Follett Bookstore to determine if bookstore purchases can be paid using the student's sponsorship funds. Students with current term Sponsor Authorizations on file, may have the ability to use those funds to purchase authorized books and/or supplies at the Follett Bookstore. Students should be prepared to show picture ID and a registration statement at the bookstore to use their funds.
Your sponsorship authorization to purchase books and/or supplies must be submitted to Financial Services at least one day prior to your Follett bookstore purchase. If authorization has not been received in the required time frame the student will be responsible for payment of their purchases.
Student must submit a new authorization from Sponsor each term.
Registration Methods
WebAdvisor or Tel-Reg: Return appropriate portion of Registration Statement and Class Schedule with authorization, if not already on file by the payment due date to Financial Services.
Register in Person: Written authorization from Sponsor should be on file in Financial Services prior to student registering for classes.
The Student is responsible for total charges. If Sponsor does not cover the total charges, the Student must pay the difference in full by the payment due date.
Late Authorization
Student must make payment in full by the Payment Due Date if their Authorization is not on file in Financial Services.
Authorization will only be accepted for the current and previous term pending corporate approval.
Example: Winter Term Authorization will not be accepted after the end of the Spring/Summer Term.
REMEMBER: If for any reason your Sponsor refuses to pay for tuition, fees, or books, the Student will be held responsible. Access to grades and records will be suspended, and the Student will be unable to register until this is paid.
NOTE: Students who receive need based financial aid administered through the Financial Aid Office must report all types of Sponsored tuition assistance to that office. Adjustments in financial aid awards may be required, based on the amount of the tuition assistance the student receives from the Sponsor.
