• Tuition installment plan payments
• Housing & Meal Plan installments

Items marked with an asterisk * may be called "University Charges" when you're looking at your eBill.

You may request billing to a third party sponsor/agency for Tuition and Fees. However, as a student enrolled at SDSU, you are ultimately responsible for paying all balances owed. This includes balances defaulted by your sponsor.

To set up third party billing, please have your agency submit a Financial Guarantee* with the following:

1. Your name (the student)
2. Your student red ID number
3. The specific charges and term for which the agency will pay
4. Agency billing information and address
5. Name, signature, and contact information of the sponsor authorizing the billing arrangement
6. Purchase order information (for government contracts)

*Letters supplied by an organization for admissions purposes are not acceptable for third party billing.

Please remit your Financial Guarantee to Student Account Services via the following:

1. Fax: 619.594.4249
2. Email: [email protected]
3. In person: Student Services West, Room 2536
