Some students have all or part of their tuition and student fees paid by a sponsor, such
as an employer, community sponsor, or government agency. This is known as third-party billing.

Accounting Services will process students' tuition and student fee payments directly
from an approved sponsor.

Sponsored students are those whose education at LSUS is funded directly by a thirdparty. Examples of Third-party sponsors are:
• Employers
• Other educational institutions
• Non-Governmental Tuition Assistance agencies

When third-parties require LSUS send an invoice for educational costs directly to them,
the process is handled by the Assistant Bursar in Accounting Services.

Employer Reimbursement
Students who pay LSUS first and are subsequently reimbursed by their employers are
not handled by Accounting Services. Students who receive reimbursement upon
submission of grades or course completion must adhere to the University’s published
payment due dates.

Third–Party Billing
1. Obtain a letter of credit (LOC) or agreement letter from the third-party that
guarantees payment on their bill.
     a. Issued on third-party’s official letterhead
     b. Specify the student’s name and nine-digit student id number (begins with
the letter of the students first name + 8 digits)
     c. Outline the educational approved cost the sponsor will cover
     d. Specify third-party terms
     e. Includes billing address to be used on the invoice and point of contact
information

2. Email or fax third-party agreement or LOC to Accounting Services with a copy of
the student’s itemized fee bill.

3. Agreement letters and LOC are reviewed and processed within seven days of the
semester payment due date.

All invoices are distributed via fax, email or mail after the census date / last day to drop
or resign with a 40% refund for the semester. LSUS will generally wait until after this
date to ensure that all invoices are accurate as many students add or drop classes
during this period.

Invoice payment dates are dependent upon contract agreement terms.

Third-party Invoice Payment
Following receipt of student paperwork, LSUS will generate and send an invoice directly
to the third-party each University semester. Third-parties are expected to pay LSUS
directly upon receipt of the invoice. Third-party payment to LSUS must be in U.S. dollars
and can be made via U.S. mail or wire transfer.

WIRE TRANSFER
Wire transfer is the preferred method of payment.
The student's name and nine-digit LSUS student identification number should be
included in the detail field.

For further instructions on submitting wire transfers, please email
Accounting_Services@lsus.edu or call 318-797-5275.

MAIL PAYMENT
For mail payments please refer to the following details:
LSU Shreveport
Attn: Accounting Services – AD-129
One University Place
Shreveport, LA 71115

The student's name and nine-digit LSUS identification number should be included on
the memo line of the check.

Tuition Insurance (or Tuition Protection Plan) provides peace of mind by reimbursing tuition costs if a student withdraws at any time during the semester for a covered reason, including mental health conditions, chronic illness, serious injury or illness, and COVID-19.

Educational institutions are required to report the following for each student:

• Legal Name, Social Security Number, Address
• Box 1, Amounts Billed for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses (QTRE), reports total payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses.
• Box 4, Adjustments Made for a Prior Year, is the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses billed to a student’s account for a prior tax year including any net decreases for a prior tax year.
• Box 5, Scholarships and Grants, is the amount of non-loan financial aid transmitted to the student’s account for the current tax year including any net increases for a prior year.
• Box 6, Adjustments to Scholarships and Grants for a Prior Year, is the net decrease to non-loan financial aid transmitted to a student’s account for a prior tax year.
• Box 7, “Check Box” for Amounts for an Academic Period Beginning in January through March 31, this box is marked if amounts selected for Box 1 are for an academic period beginning during the first three months of the next tax year.
• Box 8, “Check Box” if at Least a Half-Time Student (6 credits) in any enrollment period during the current tax year.
• Box 9, “Check Box” if the Student was enrolled as a graduate student in any enrollment period during the current tax year.

Forms 1098-T are mailed by January 31. If you have not received a 1098-T Form by the end of the first week in February, click here to print your 1098-T.

Only transactions posted between January 1 and December 31 of the tax year are used in the calculation. Qualified tuition and related expenses include tuition, nonresident fee, some international fees, and other required fees. Some fees that are not considered qualified tuition and related expenses are housing, Pilot Cash, prior semester balances, obligations, penalties, or fines. Please note, this is not intended to be an all-inclusive list

Payments received as reported in Box 1 are capped at the total qualified tuition and related expenses posted during the calendar year. For example, if registration is completed in December 2020 and scholarships are posted in January 2021, the next calendar year, a student may notice that Box 5 is higher than Box 1.

There are a number of reasons why a form would not be prepared.

• If the qualified tuition and related expenses were paid entirely by scholarships/grants/ exemptions/fellowships.
• Qualified tuition and related expenses were assessed in the previous calendar year for a term that began after January 1 of the subsequent year.
• If a student resigned for the only term in which they were enrolled during a calendar year.
• If 1098-T Form is not located on myLSUS > My Financials > 1098-T Information we were not required to produce a form for you.

Only payments received and posted for qualified tuition and fees between January 1 and December 31 of the tax year are reported in Box 1.
