º£½ÇÉçÇø

All students being sponsored by a third-party entity need to submit a Statement of Understanding (SOU) by the payment deadline. The form is to be submitted each semester as long as the student remains eligible for sponsorship. All fields (applicable) need to be filled out in order for the form to be processed.

Once the SOU is received, º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services will review and process the form. Additional documentation might be required (ex. Financial Support Letter or Letter of Credit). Forms need to be submitted via email to sbsforms@utep.edu. If there's missing documentation, º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services will contact the student. 

Once the form is processed, º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services will code the student's account to secure the student's classes from being dropped due to nonpayment. After the term's census date, º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services will start placing a "Third Party Sponsor Placeholder" on the student's account for the amount that is to be paid by the third-party entity. This "placeholder" does not indicate that payment has been received by the third-party entity. If the third-party entity remits payment in full as indicated by the "placeholder", no additional actions will be required from the student.

If º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services receives short payment or no payment from the third-party entity, the student will be notified and the student will be liable for the remaining balance on their account. If payment is not received, the student is responsible for the balance and registration will be restricted until payment is submitted.

º£½ÇÉçÇø Business Services no longer requires a SOU form. Contact Military º£½ÇÉçÇø Success Center at (915) 747-5342 or via email to mssc@utep.edu for pre-certification requirements.
