Billing

E-Billing

Through the E-Billing system, an email will be sent to each student's official Columbia University address every time a new Student Account Statement is ready. The statement can be viewed online, at our secure E-Billing website, accessible through SSOL with the student's Columbia UNI and password.

For more information please download and print the Guide to E-Billing.

Third Party Billing

Third party billing is when educational costs will be sponsored by a government or an outside agency that requires the University to send an invoice for those charges directly to them. In return, the sponsor will send payment for the covered costs directly to the University. In order for the University to process an invoice, the University must receive a letter from the sponsor specifying the educational costs that will be covered. Additionally, the student must complete a Third Party Billing Agreement in the Student Administrative Services, for each term being sponsored.

A copy of the Third Party Bill prepared for the sponsor as well as the Columbia University Student Account Statement will be sent to the student. Once received, the student is responsible for reviewing charges billed to the sponsor and payments made by the sponsor to what has posted to the student account. Students are responsible for making on-time payments for any charges that are not covered by their sponsor. In addition, students are required to pay any late payment charges on those charges that are past due.

Tuition Reimbursement

If a student's employer offers tuition reimbursement, this is not considered third party billing. Under tuition reimbursement, the student is expected to pay for tuition and related fees and then get reimbursed by their employer once the student has satisfied the employer's specified requirement(s).
