Third-Party Billing


Important: 

Students should not add third-party sponsors' addresses or information into OPUS in place of student demographics. This is unnecessary for processing and may create confusion.

If a third party (i.e., corporation or outside entity) will be paying all or part of your tuition and fees, and the third party requires a bill or invoice to be mailed directly from the Student Accounts and Billing Office, a written authorization on company letterhead must be received from the third-party sponsor at least two weeks prior to the payment deadline for each term. Written authorizations must include:

  • Student Name
  • Student ID number
  • Amount to be paid (percentage, dollar amount, “full program cost,” etc.)
  • Timeframe to be covered (i.e. fall 2026 only, full program, etc.)
  • Contact information for company including email address for invoicing

Please send this information to studentaccounts@emory.edu.

Most state prepaid tuition programs send a roster of eligible students to the university, and this will suffice as authorization. We recommend students contact our office to ensure their name appears on the program roster.

Depending on the third-party sponsor, students will be given temporary credit on their account in the amount of the agreement. The student retains responsibility for on-time payment of their account. If payment is not received in a timely fashion, the credit will be removed, and the student will be required to pay the remaining balance, which may include finance charges. Questions regarding this process can be directed to studentaccounts@emory.edu.
