Sponsor’s guide to third party billing

Are you a business or organization interested in paying educational expenses for a PCC student? Follow the steps outlined below.

1. Set up formal billing arrangements with PCC
   Contact your program coordinator (Reba Stephney or Windy Wahlke) to let them know you would like to make arrangements for third-party billing.
2. Prepare billing authorizations
   Authorizations must be submitted on your official letterhead and include the following:
   • student’s full legal name
   • student’s PCC ID (if the student has not previously attended PCC please include their: address, DOB, email, and phone number)
   • an itemization of which classes and all charges to be billed.
3. Submit authorizations
   Submit your completed authorization to your program coordinator. Authorizations are due by the payment due date and must include the student’s PCC ID number. Late authorizations may result in the deletion of the student’s course registration.
4. Make a payment
   Contact Sam Loughery in Accounts to make your payment. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. For billing fees, please refer to the table below. To ensure proper credit, reference your PCC Vendor ID and invoice number on your remittance. Do not combine payment with other PCC invoices. Unpaid charges are released to the student after 45 days and become ineligible for re-billing. Students are instructed to follow up with their third-party sponsor.
