Third-Party Sponsor Responsibilities

How can I find out if we are already set up as an approved Third-Party Sponsor?

Send an email to Business Services at  busvhelp@tccd.edu with the following information to inquire if your company or agency is already registered as a third-party sponsor:

• Company Name  
• Company Address  
• Company email address and phone number  

What is the deadline to submit an approved tuition voucher?

Submit approved tuition vouchers at least one week prior to the first payment deadline for a semester. See upcoming payment deadlines.

What if we miss the deadline to submit an approved tuition voucher?

You may still submit the voucher if the first payment deadline has passed.  If the student has paid out of pocket, Business Services will process the sponsorship and refund the student if applicable.  If the paperwork is submitted after the census date for the courses enrolled, the student will be refunded after payment is received from your company.

How can a Third-Party Sponsor pay for books?

To pay for physical textbooks obtained through the TCC bookstores, contact any campus bookstore for information on their process. To pay for TCC Plus digital materials, you must include a statement in the authorization specifically stating that you will also pay for “digital materials”.

When can we expect an invoice?

TCC invoices for tuition after all refund periods are over for the semester.

Can we pay in advance of receiving an invoice?

You should wait until they receive an invoice before sending payment, as the cost may change.

Will there be a charge if the sponsored student drops their class(es)? 

TCC will invoice for the cost of tuition according to TCC’s refund policy.  If the student drops after the 100% refund period, you will be invoiced for the non-refundable portion of the tuition.
