Information for Students
The University of Chicago offers third-party billing for students whose tuition and other fees, or a portion thereof, will be paid by a third-party. Student account charges may be directly billed to an agency or organization who assumes responsibility for charges through the application of a Third Party Contract (TPC). A TPC may be issued per quarter or for the full academic year, and only if the sponsor assumes unconditional responsibility for your student account charges. If the sponsorship is conditional (i.e. requiring attaining a minimum grade, providing transcripts, etc.) your sponsorship does not qualify for a TPC.
- To apply for this service, students complete and submit the signed Third Party Contract (TPC). If you are unable to complete the sponsor information indicated on the application, you must submit documentation that includes the required information.
Upon receipt of the completed Student TPC Application, the amount your sponsor agreed to pay will be deferred on your student account. The sponsor will be billed for the contracted amount. The deferment DOES NOT indicate payment received and only reflects the amount your sponsor agreed to pay. Responsibility for Student Account settlement always remains with each student. Any amount unpaid by your sponsor by the due date will be transferred back to your student account and will be due immediately. See the TPC application for deadline and invoice dates.
