Enrolling in Third Party Contracts
**The Autumn quarter enrollment deadline is Friday, Sept. 24, 2021.**
To initiate the Third Party Contract (TPC) invoicing process, you are required to submit an application to the Stanford Student Financial Services (SFS) team, and authorize FERPA in Axess.
The FERPA release remains in effect until you delete your sponsor by ‘opting out’ of TPC invoicing or when you leave Stanford.
Other important enrollment items:
- You may only have one sponsoring organization per quarter enrolled for TPC invoicing.
- Once your application has been received and processed by SFS, a conditional credit will be placed on your student account each term. A conditional credit on your student account does not signify payment by the sponsor was received. We strongly encourage you to read and understand this Notice of Financial Responsibility.
- SFS processes temporary credits after the first term invoice with a completion deadline of the graduate student payment deadline. View this Billing Dates and Deadlines webpage for specific dates.
