Third Party Billing is when a private or governmental agency is paying for any portion of your tuition and/or fees AND they are requesting a bill directly from the College. Agencies that require course completion or proof of grades before they will pay are considered tuition reimbursement programs.
These programs do not qualify as Third-Party Billing. Students participating in tuition reimbursement programs are responsible for making payment arrangements, according to the RRCC payment policy, and seeking reimbursement directly from their sponsoring agency.
Red Rocks Cashier’s Office must receive written authorization (third party contract, PO, voucher, etc.) from the sponsoring agency prior to the term due date in order to process Third Party Billing. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the authorization has been received by the Cashier’s Office each term prior to the due date.
The authorization must include the following information in order to be processed:
NOTE: We require a new authorization form every semester to ensure eligible billing status.
If your agency does not have a standard Third Party Form, they can complete and submit the RRCC Third Party Authorization Form.
Things to remember:
Authorizations are due by the first payment deadline of the semester or at time of registration.
After receiving the authorization, the Cashier's office will process a third-party transfer which will post a payment to the student account and charge the agency. An invoice will then be sent to the agency requesting payment.
Students can expect a refund, if applicable, to be issued within 14 business days after the third-party transfer is processed.
Students will continue to receive regular billings after they initially register for the semester until the third-party transfer is processed. If a student still receives a billing after midterm of the semester, the student should contact the Cashier's office to discuss the matter.
If for any reason the agency refuses to pay, the balance will become the student’s responsibility.
