A third party billing is when you have a scholarship or sponsorship from your government, college, agency or employer. You must provide a Financial Guarantee to Accounting Services so your tuition can be billed to the third party sponsor. You are responsible for payment if the sponsoring party does not pay the total amount due.

You may be eligible to pay your tuition and fees in an installment plan over the course of a specified time period. A payment plan is a good option if you are waiting for the transfer of funds from your home country to a U.S. bank account. A minimum payment of $500 and completion of the IEC Payment Plan Agreement is required to start a payment plan. You cannot register for the next session until your entire balance is paid in full. (Please note: ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder's Buff Portal payment plans are not available to IEC students at this time. IEC students must use the IEC's Payment Plan.)
