Third Party Agency Requirements

A third-party payment is money paid by an employer, government agency, or another sponsor on your behalf.

If an organization outside of Helena College is paying all or part of your tuition and fees, you must submit a Third-Party Authorization Form or a Purchase Order every semester.

Third Party Authorization Form

1. Print out the Third Party Authorization Form.
2. Have the sponsoring agency complete and sign the form.
3. Submit the completed form to Student Accounts by the published payment deadline.
4. You must still finalize your schedule bill online, by mail, or in person.

Purchase Order

Some agencies provide a Purchase Order instead of a Third-Party Authorization Form.

1. Submit the Purchase Order to Student Accounts by the published payment deadline.
2. A Purchase Order replaces the Third-Party Authorization Form.
3. Common agencies that use Purchase Orders include:
   • Veteran’s Affairs (VA)
   • Montana Vocational Rehabilitation
4. Student Accounts must receive the Purchase Order before you can finalize your schedule bill.
