If an organization is covering your tuition, follow these steps to submit the Third-Party Billing Form and ensure your sponsor is invoiced correctly each term.

If an organization (like a government agency, Indigenous band, or employer) is paying your tuition and fees, you are considered a sponsored student. There are a few steps you and your sponsor must follow each year.
