Third Party Contracts

Third party contracts are an unconditional written guarantee to Valencia College for payment of tuition and fees, and in some instances educational materials and supplies, from an organization (“Third Party Sponsor”) on behalf of a student. 

Depending on terms of the contract, some tuition or certain fees may not be covered, so it is important to understand what will be paid under the terms of the third-party contract.  Any difference between the charges assessed and amount covered under the contract must be paid from another source to satisfy the balance due.
