Third Party Billing Arrangements

Third party billing icon

You can have your bill paid by a third party sponsor, such as your employer or sponsoring agency.

How to use third party billing

  1. Before you register for classes, check with your sponsor and make sure they have a formal billing arrangement with PCC.
  2. Have your sponsor provide a billing authorization to you or to the college.
  3. The billing authorization must be received by PCC on or before the deadline below. If your third party sponsor does not provide a billing authorization or fails to pay, it will be up to you to pay your account balance.

    Send or fax at 971-722-2878, or by mail:

    Portland, OR 97280-0990

  4. Check your student account balance regularly in the MyPCC Paying for College tab. If there is a tuition balance, either we did not receive the authorization, it is incomplete, or the sponsor is only going to pay part of your balance. It's up to you to make sure the billing authorization is received on time. If your billing authorization is not enough to cover your account balance, you will need to pay the difference by the payment due date.

A separate billing authorization must be submitted to the PCC Bookstore for text books.
