Conditional Credit as a Pending/Anticipated Payment
- Upon approval by the University of the 3rd party agreement, a conditional credit will be applied to the student’s account for the term(s) specified in the agreement.
- The 3rd party organization will be invoiced within 30 days of the beginning of the academic term for which the student is enrolled. Students who are not receiving full payment of all account charges must pay their portion by the normally scheduled bill due date in order to secure their schedule. Students who have not paid their portion are subject to schedule cancellation.
- Students under 3rd party agreements whose organizations fail to pay the authorized charges within 60 days of the bill due date will be subject to immediate reversal of their conditional credit and will be responsible for payment of any balance due.

Confidentiality
It is the policy of the University to protect our students’ right to confidentiality under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Sponsors must obtain information regarding grades, transcripts, or other specific information directly from the student.
