If the total amount to be covered by the payment plan does not cover the total balance outstanding on the student’s account, the Student Accounts Office will send to the student’s UConnect (formally Bearcat Online (BOL)) e-mail account a notice of outstanding balance in excess of the payment plan total, and will assess a late fee. If a student enrolled in the payment plan receives a notice from the University, her/she should call NBS at 1-800-609-8056 and revise the payment plan. Questions about outstanding balances should be directed to the One Stop Student Service Center.
Sponsored aid - Sponsored aid is when a third party (such as an employer, non-profit, agency or other organization) pay all or some portion of a students bill. There are two types of sponsored aid, pre-paid and invoiced.
Pre-paid sponsorship is when the organization sends the University of Cincinnati a check in advance. If the check is made payable to the student and/or the University the Student Accounts Office will contact the student to come in to the One Stop Student Center and endorse the check so that we can process it. Checks for amounts less than $2,000 that are intended for the entire academic year or are one-time are usually applied to the students first enrolled term. Otherwise students can elect to spread the amount across the terms of the academic year. Pre-paid sponsorship checks should be sent to:
Student Accounts Office
University of Cincinnati
PO Box 210140
Cincinnati, OH 45221-0140
SPONSORS PLEASE NOTE: Once the award is posted to a students account and funds have already been disbursed to the student your organization will need to work directly with the student for the return of funds.
Questions regarding pre-paid sponsorships should be directed to the Student Accounts Office at (513) 556-5055 or via e-mail at billing@ucmail.uc.edu.
Invoiced sponsorship is when the organization agrees to pay some or all tuition and fees for one or more students. Organizations wishing to be invoiced for fees must send a letter listing the student name and student ID of each student they intend to sponsor, this letter should detail the amount and the type of fees being covered. The letter must be sent to the Cashiers Office each term. Credits are usually not posted to the student(s) account until payment is received from the sponsoring organization. If the sponsoring organization wants UC to post the credit before receipt of payment they will be required to sign a Sponsored Student Agreement. Ohio organizations who pay 100% of an employees fees and agree to comply with Senate Bill 53 requirements should complete the Sponsored Agreement for Senate Bill 53. Students covered by these agreements are charged in-state fees resulting in employers being billed for in-state fees.
To ensure timely credit to a student(s) account all documentation must be received at least one week before the beginning of the term. Students are responsible for paying all fees not covered by the agreement by the due date or they risk being assessed a late payment fee. In the event paper work and documentation is late or credit does not appear students should pay their bill by the due date or they risk being assessed a late payment fee. Once the sponsor payments are applied the University will process a refund to the student within 5 business days. Invoiced sponsorship requests and documentation should be sent to:
Cashiers Office
University of Cincinnati
PO Box 210061
Cincinnati, OH 45221-0061
Questions regarding pre-paid sponsorships should be directed to the Cashiers Office at (513) 556-4252 or via e-mail at cashiers@ucmail.uc.edu.
