Veterans Benefits
Tap/529 College Savings
Students utilizing 529 college savings plan funds to pay their balance must contact the Student Accounts Office and submit proof of requested payment from their plan holder.
If payment for registered courses is being remitted on behalf of a student by a TAP 529 or other College Saving Plan and will not arrive by the end of the Alternative Payment 7-calendar day agreement, the student must submit a confirmation of funds availability. This may be in the form of either a payment withdrawal receipt or front page of the College Saving statement with the student’s name on it. Course registration may be dropped if the confirmation is not received within the 7-calendar day agreement window.
The documentation must include:
- Student name
- Student ID number
- Available/Authorized amount
- Semester and year
- Check number and date mailed, if applicable
Documentation must be provided each semester. If the College Savings Plan will not satisfy the entire balance due for the semester, the student will be responsible for paying the remaining balance before further registration is permitted.
Documentation may be emailed or faxed to the Student Accounts Office at accounts@bucks.edu or 215-497-8738.
Employee Sponsorship
Students utilizing employee sponsorship must contact the Student Accounts Office and submit a copy of their employee payment voucher. Note that this program is different from Employee Tuition Remission which requires that students pay for their tuition and fees at the time of registration and be reimbursed by their employer after the submission of final grades.
Students sponsored by a third party are those who have all or a portion of their credit program tuition paid by a third-party entity, such as an employer or other agency. Payment for some or all mandatory fees may also be included in a sponsorship.
In order to defer the tuition payment due date and establish third-party/sponsored billing with BCCC, students must submit proof of sponsorship, in writing, each semester at the time of registration. Students intending to use third-party sponsorship to pay their fees should select the Alternative Payment option during the registration checkout process which provides a 7-calendar day window to submit their sponsorship authorization. The authorization must be signed and dated by an authorized official within the sponsoring organization and may be in the form of a letter (on company letterhead) or a company issued purchase order or voucher.
The written authorization must include:
- Student name and address
- Student ID number
- Amount and description of tuition and fees, if applicable, being authorized for payment
- Semester and year the authorization is valid
- Third Party Billing contact person name, address and telephone number
Documentation may be emailed or faxed to the Student Accounts Office at accounts@bucks.edu or 215-497-8738.
If the sponsorship does not cover the entirety of tuition and fees billed for the semester, the student must satisfy the remaining balance by the tuition due date to guarantee their registration. Students are ultimately responsible for payment of their charges and any charge not paid by the sponsor will be billed to the student.
Tuition sponsorship is different from Tuition reimbursement. With tuition reimbursement, students must remit payment for course tuition and mandatory fees at the time of registration or enroll in a payment plan offered by BCCC. The employer will reimburse the student for the eligible amount upon receipt of a grade report/transcript at the end of the semester.
