Below are the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Temple University third party billing process.

What is a billing authorization?

The billing authorization allows Temple University to bill your sponsor for authorized student account charges.  The billing authorization must be official letterhead of the third-party sponsor, must include the student’s name and TUid number, must indicate the sponsor’s name, billing address, phone number and e-mail and must identify the semester and charges that the third-party sponsor will pay.

Where do I send my billing authorization?

The billing authorization should be sent to the Third-Party Coordinator at [click-for-email]. Alternatively, the billing authorization can be mailed to:

Temple University Bursar’s Office
Attn: Third-Party Coordinator
1803 N. Broad Street
216 Carnell Hall
Philadelphia, PA 19122

How does third party affect my student account?

Upon receipt of a valid billing authorization, a conditional credit will be applied to the student account. If the third-party sponsor does not pay the bill by the end of the semester, the conditional credit removed from the student’s account. The student will be responsible for the payment of the unpaid charges.

Can I get a refund if my account shows a credit balance?

If your account reflects a credit balance because of a third-party payment, you will be issued a refund; however, if your organization/company does not honor their commitment, you will be required to repay the amount of the refund. If you have a credit balance and the refund has not been issued yet, contact [click-for-email].
