Student Accounting

Third Party Billing

If a third party (i.e. outside agency, corporation, or State Prepaid Tuition Plan) 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 Student Accounting, a written authorization must be received from the third party prior to the beginning of classes. The authorization letter must be submitted to Washington University in St. Louis, Attn: Vicki Sullivan, P.O. Box 14627, St. Louis, MO 63150-4627 or by fax at (314) 935-9798.

The letter must be printed on company letterhead and include the following:

• The student's full name
• The student's Washington University Student ID
• Beginning and end date of sponsorship
• Type of fees covered (tuition, health insurance, housing, meal plans, etc.)
• Sponsor's billing address and contact number
• Signature of authorized official

The sponsor's letter must also state that Washington University will be paid directly. Payments are not to be sent to the student.

Once the sponsor's letter is received, a credit with the description "Third Party Billing" and the amount the sponsor has indicated will be applied to the student's account. An invoice for this amount will be sent to the sponsor after the beginning of classes each semester.

If, for any reason, the sponsor does not pay the invoice, the student will be liable for full payment of all charges incurred.

To prevent complications with registration and/or graduation, please check with Vicki Sullivan, (314) 935-5786 or Victoria.Sullivan@wustl.edu, in Student Accounting to ensure all invoices billed to your sponsor have been paid in full.
