Sponsor role and responsibilities
As a sponsor engaging in a Third Party Sponsorship, you are responsible for the following:
- Provide the student with an individual sponsorship letter prior to the beginning of the term, according to the sponsor letter guidelines. Application fees, deposit fees, and late interest charges cannot be included in the sponsorship agreement. Note: students must apply with the sponsor letter by the term fee deadline to avoid late interest and holds stopping services. Late interest cannot be invoiced back to the sponsor.
Request any additional required information directly from the student, such as transcripts, course information, or receipts.
Issue payment directly to within 30 days of receiving the invoice. If payment is not received within 60 days, the invoice may be cancelled, and the student's account may be subject to an account notice and late interest charges. The student will be fully responsible for all unpaid fees, including any administrative holds on the account and late interest charges.
Keeping the sponsor account in “good standing.” If a sponsor's account is not in good standing, this may impact their ability to sponsor students in current and future terms. To be in good standing, a sponsor must pay all outstanding invoices within 30 days of the invoice date. If any invoices remain unpaid after 30 days, the sponsor's account will have a negative service indicator and any current or new sponsorship applications may be at risk of not being approved. The student will be notified of this risk within their sponsorship link in the student centre.
Issue any related tax forms directly to the student. For more information on tax receipts, please visit the &Բ;貹.
