Third Party Billing & Payments
The University accepts company checks or purchase orders as payment, or we can bill your employer for your total charges with the appropriate authorization (third party payment agreement).
A third party payment agreement is a written authorization from an employer, a military unit, a service organization, or a state agency that gives Old Dominion University permission to shift the payment liability from the student to the employer for a specific term.
It should clearly state the total amount to be paid, including fees, the term, and specific courses (if applicable).
This is also sometimes referred to as the third party "authorization" or "contract".
Unless otherwise specified in a "Special Arrangements Contract," rates are determined by the student's domicile classification (in-state vs out-of-state) and the location of the course.
View Current Tuition Rates for exact rates and cost estimates. Also see Military Tuition for important information regarding military-affiliated student tuition & programs.
If third party does not pay for any reason, the total amount will be transferred back to the student. The student is ultimately responsible for the debt and will be billed.

The University does not allow a student to register, add classes, receive a degree, a transcript of grades/grade report, or other student services until all outstanding University debts are paid in full. (Learn more about tuition penalties.)
It is the student's responsibility to assure that appropriate letters, authorizations, or other payment documents have been sent to the Office of Finance.
We require the submission of a document once a term, even in cases of dual semester contracts. Students who receive billing statements for courses paid by a third party should notify our office immediately.
Contracts should be submitted by the tuition deadline. We encourage early submission of documents. Contracts will not be honored after these dates:
- Fall - December 1
- Spring - May 1
- Summer - August 15
Contracts may be modified or amended during the term. However, students who add classes and increase their charges must submit a new authorization form. It is the student's responsibility to contact the sponsor to obtain additional authorization.
Employer to Employee Reimbursement
Employer to employee reimbursement programs are not recognized for third party billing.听Participants in employer reimbursement programs are advised to make payment to 黑料正能量 by the听tuition deadline听and then follow employer guidelines to be personally reimbursed at the end of the course.
Please听DO NOT try to finish a course without paying, in hopes that you could be reimbursed before 黑料正能量 withholds your records.听Delinquent accounts听are referred for formal collection efforts听prior to the posting of grades. Past due accounts are placed on听hold听and students will be unable to access grade reports.
