Third Party Billing Arrangements
Students - Before you enroll:
Determine if your financial sponsor or employer has third party billing arrangements with PCC. Your sponsor will provide a billing authorization to you or to the college. The completed billing authorization must be submitted to the college by fax at 503-533-2878, or by mail to: Portland Community College, Third Party Billing, PO Box 6119, Aloha, OR 97007-0119 by the deadline listed below. A separate billing authorization must be submitted to the PCC Bookstore for text books.
Check your student account regularly using PCC-Pay. If there is a tuition balance, either we did not receive the authorization, or it is incomplete. It is up to you to pay or to follow up with your sponsor to get the authorization to the college before the due date. Be sure to view your account during the first week of term to make sure everything is in order. If there is a balance, you either need to pay the balance or work with your sponsor to revise your billing authorization. If your sponsor fails to pay, you are financially responsible for all charges on your account.
To avoid late fees, your billing authorization must be received by the due date listed below and you must pay all charges not authorized by your sponsor.
