Beginning in Fall 2026, students who use third-party billing services may be assessed a non-refundable $70 Third-Party Invoicing Fee each academic quarter. This fee supports the administrative services required to process sponsorships, prepare and submit invoices, process sponsor payments, and provide billing support.

If your tuition and fees are paid by a third-party organization, the fee may be posted to your student account as part of the third-party billing process. If your sponsor agrees to cover the fee, it may be included in the amount invoiced to your sponsor, provided your sponsorship documentation clearly states that the fee is covered.

UC San Diego has transitioned to a new student information system called the Triton Student System, also known as TSS.

As part of this transition, your previous student ID, also known as your PID, has been replaced by a Triton Student Number, also known as a TSN. Please use your TSN when communicating with the Third-Party Billing Office so our team can locate your account and process your sponsorship information efficiently.

 🔗Submit here: Financial Guarantee Submission Form

Students must submit their financial guarantee through our online form. Email submissions will not be accepted.

🗓️ The deadline to submit financial guarantees for Fall 2026 is September 30, 2026.

Once you submit the form, we will send you a Billing Authorization Form via DocuSign, which you must sign before we can apply credits or invoice your sponsor.

👉 Remember! You must sign a new Billing Authorization Form via DocuSign each academic year. Please submit a Financial Guarantee for the 2026–2027 academic year, if you haven’t already, to receive your DocuSign email.

As part of the transition to the Triton Student System (TSS), Summer Session 2 third-party sponsorships were temporarily reversed on August 1 to ensure student billing and account information transitioned correctly. The reapplication of these sponsorships in TSS has been delayed, and our team is currently working to complete the process. Students whose Summer Session 2 sponsorships were reversed were not dropped from their classes, and no action is required at this time.

If you have recently submitted a financial guarantee for any summer session or a previous quarter, please note that those are also delayed. We are working to complete the transition and process financial guarantees as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition.
