Are you a business or organization interested in paying educational expenses for LBCC students? Set up a third-party billing arrangement with us so that we can bill you directly.

 

How to Set Up Third-Party Billing

 

Step 1) Set Up Formal Billing Arrangements - Billing Authorizations

Authorization can be submitted using our Agency Payment Voucher Form or you may email your authorization. An authorization must be on official letterhead and include the student’s name, LBCC ID, and an itemization of all charges to be billed. To set up multiple-term authorizations, specify which terms to authorize (limited to one academic year). All third party billing accounts must provide a valid US mailing address.

1. Eligible charges: include tuition and mandatory class fees (lab, Online Learning, student activity, college service, technology, and transportation), books, supplies and late charges. The authorization should be as specific as possible as to the charges that your company will pay. For example, if you are authorizing $400 for books and $50 for supplies, but would prefer that the student not purchase computer items, please note this on the authorization form.
2. Restrictions: payment cannot be contingent upon grades or successful completion of class, enrollment, attendance, or financial aid status.

 

Step 2) Submit Authorizations

Submit authorization through the Agency Payment Voucher Form or send via email to wheeles@linnbenton.edu.

1. Billing authorization deadline: authorizations are due by the payment due date.

 

Step 3) Make Payment

Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. To ensure proper credit, reference your Vendor ID number on your remittance. Please do not combine payment with other LBCC invoices.

1. Unpaid charges: Any charges to go unpaid will revert back to the student after 45 days. Unauthorized bookstore purchases are ultimately the student’s responsibility. If for any reason your organization fails to pay for an item the student charges to their account, we will place that student on hold (which means they will not be able to register for classes or receive transcripts) and we will invoice them directly for the purchase(s). Make sure that your students understand what your organization will pay for before they are sent in to charge.
